Simulation Engineer I, Arc Vehicle

About this role

Inversion seeks a Simulation Engineer I to develop and maintain simulation environments for advanced reentry spacecraft systems. You'll bridge GNC, software, and simulation teams to build testing pipelines, automation tools, and verification workflows for Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop testing of hypersonic vehicle systems.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain simulation models for spacecraft subsystems, environmental dynamics, and hardware interfaces
• Support execution, automation, and scaling of SIL and HIL testing runs
• Build data-processing pipelines and visualization tools to analyze simulation outputs and verify requirements
• Integrate GNC algorithms, aerodynamic databases, and sensor models into the simulation platform
• Develop and execute automated unit, integration, and regression tests for simulation stability
• Translate MATLAB-based GNC algorithms into autocoded C/C++ flight software workflows

What they're looking for

• MATLAB and Simulink
• C/C++ programming
• Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing
• Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems
• Data processing and visualization
• Automated testing and test framework development
• Spacecraft dynamics and aerodynamics
• Python or equivalent scripting
