Software Simulation Engineer, Astranis

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in software simulation, systems architecture, or complex software development
• Expert in Python with strong working knowledge of C++
• Hands-on experience architecting, extending, or maintaining custom software simulators, test harnesses, or large-scale software frameworks
• Solid understanding of system-level networking and data routing (e.g., Ethernet, UDP/TCP, CAN)

Desirable

• We are looking for a Software Simulation Engineer to design and build the core architecture of our simulation platform. You will be responsible for the infrastructure that validates our intelligent systems before real-world deployment. Your focus will be on creating a scalable, high-performance virtual environment that seamlessly integrates flight software, autonomy stacks, and external models
• Simulation Architecture: Design, build, and maintain the core infrastructure, data pipelines, and timing mechanisms for our system-level and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation environments
• Framework Development: Build robust APIs and interfaces that allow cross-functional teams to easily plug their specific sensor, actuator, and physics models into the broader simulation
• Software Integration: Integrate flight software, autonomy stacks, and control algorithms directly into the simulator
• Testing Infrastructure: Develop the backend tooling and automated test frameworks needed to run large-scale simulations, verify system behavior, and catch edge cases
• Cross-Functional Sync: Act as the simulation platform owner, partnering with hardware and controls teams to ensure the architecture supports their testing requirements and scales effectively
