Lead Simulation Software Developer (m​/f​/d) for Eurodrone Virtual Engineering

Eurodrone Programme

With its ground-breaking industrial and commercial setup and its unique certification and flexibility, the European Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) showcases how European industry can find innovative ways to support strategic autonomy needs and prepare for the Future Combat Air System. The European MALE RPAS is not just the first programme to fully implement digital design manufacturing and services (DDMS).

It is also seen as a 'light-house' programme, not only within Airbus, but also for the entire aeronautics industry in Europe.

In the Airbus Defence & Space Military Aircraft Simulation Domain we develop top notch, high fidelity Engineering and Training Simulations for a variety of aircraft, supporting the entire development lifecycle.

Under the term 'Virtual Engineering' (VE), the VE team is establishing a new way-of-working in the European MALE RPAS (Eurodrone) programme:
The mission is to generate and deploy a central simulation and all associated governance, processes and tools, in order to support the development, integration and verification of the European MALE RPAS. We also develop and build the Eurodrone Training Simulators.

As the Lead Simulation Software Developer, you will be responsible for the 'Simulation-Specific Components' (SSC) group within the Joint Model Office (JMO). You will coordinate the development of specialized simulation models and components, ensuring their seamless integration and alignment with the overall Eurodrone Virtual Engineering requirements. You will act as a key technical point of contact within the JMO, driving the development of sophisticated software solutions and contributing directly to the implementation of high-fidelity simulations.
