Simulation Flight Model Developer (m/f/x)

Simulation Flight Model Developer (m/f/x) Jetzt bewerben At Grob Aircraft SE, we design and build some of the world's most advanced training and special-mission aircraft, "Made in Germany" and trusted by air forces, flight schools, and government operators worldwide. As part of Helsing, Europe's leading defense AI company, we are shaping the future of European air power. Aircraft Training on the Edge Our Ground Based Training (GBT) systems push the boundaries of modern pilot training, from full-feature Flight Simulation Training Devices to next-generation Mixed Reality FSTDs and fully integrated Learning Management platforms. This is where aerospace engineering meets cutting-edge simulation technology, and where you come in. Your Role As a Simulation Flight Model Developer, you bring our aircraft to life in the virtual world. You design the mathematical core that defines how our simulators feel, fly, and respond, especially in the most demanding flight regimes such as stall, post-stall, and aerobatic maneuvers. Your work directly shapes the realism and training quality experienced by pilots worldwide. Your Responsibilities Analyze flight test data and perform parameter estimation and model validation Develop and refine aerodynamic models for fixed-wing aircraft, with focus on stall, post-stall, and aerobatic flight regimes Execute simulations and perform verification and validation of flight dynamics models Contribute to the design, implementation, and tuning of autopilot and control systems using MATLAB & Simulink Develop models for aircraft systems such as propulsion, control surfaces, and sensors Integrate and test flight models within flight simulation environments Improve model accuracy based on comparison with real flight data and simulation results Collaborate closely with software engineers and the wider simulation team Your Profile Degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field Minimum 5 years of experience in flight dynamics and aerodynamic modeling Proven experience in developing mathematical models of fixed-wing aircraft aerodynamics under extreme conditions such as stall, post-stall, and aerobatic flight Minimum 5 years of experience in flight test data analysis and parameter estimation Experience in autopilot or control system design using MATLAB & Simulink Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB & Simulink Solid understanding of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, and control theory Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Good communication skills in English, German is a plus Advantageous Qualifications Experience with C++ Experience with flight simulator development or integration Familiarity with Mixed Reality (MR), Augmented Reality (AR), or Virtual Reality (VR) simulation environments Your Benefits at Grob Aircraft Flying at Grob: Fly the Grob G115 in your free time (for PPL holders) and access our Grob TP flight simulator Insurance & Pension: Company pension scheme, Grob accident insurance, and subsidy for occupational disability insurance Health & Well-Being: EGYM Wellpass, subsidized lunch (approx. 50%) Work-Life Balance: Bridge days with flextime, DEKA working time account, and kindergarten subsidy Extras: VIP tickets for FC Bayern home games (Allianz Arena), employee referral premium, anniversary gifts, and corporate benefits discount platform #LI-HK1 Abteilung Entwicklung Standorte Grob Aircraft SE Arbeitsort (Präsenz, Homeoffice...) Hybrid Beschäftigungsverhältnis Vollzeit Über Grob Aircraft SE Grob Aircraft entwickelt und fertigt seit über 55 Jahren hochleistungsfähige Flugzeuge aus Faserverbundwerkstoffen – von Schulungsflugzeugen bis hin zu Sondermissionsplattformen. Über 3.500 Flugzeuge weltweit wurden bereits ausgeliefert. Als Teil von Helsing verbinden wir bewährte Luftfahrtkompetenz mit modernster KI-Technologie. Gemeinsam entwickeln wir die CA-1 Europa – Europas erstes autonomes UCAV. Ein Programm, das europäische Verteidigungstechnologie neu definiert. Wofür wir stehen: Ingenieursexzellenz, technologische Souveränität und eine Unternehmenskultur, die auf Vertrauen, Eigenverantwortung und kurze Entscheidungswege setzt.
