As a (Senior) Simulation Engineer, you are a principal architect of our “Data Engine”.
You enable large-scale AI training and prepare our systems for extreme operational conditions.
You bridge the gap between virtual worlds and reality.
At the senior level you are responsible for the technological architecture and strategic planning of the system landscape, while at the professional level you drive hands-on development and implementation.
Together you create scalable environments in which our AI agents can safely learn and refine autonomous flight behavior.

Completed degree in Computer Science, Game Engine Development, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field (for the senior position preferably with a Master's degree or PhD).
Initial hands-on experience or strong academic knowledge of simulation frameworks and 3D rendering engines (preferably Unreal Engine or AirSim).
Relevant multi-year professional experience with simulation frameworks and rendering engines, especially Unreal Engine and AirSim, and proven success implementing complex technical architectures or providing technical leadership in a fast-paced technological environment.
Deep understanding (or strong interest) in 3D physics engines, sensor simulation (EO/IR), and data pipelines for machine learning.
Solid knowledge of C++ and Python for developing simulation features, customizing engines, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines.
Fluent in German and English.

A unique opportunity to shape the future of autonomous systems at a world-leading aerospace company
An inspiring work environment that combines the innovative spirit of a startup with the expertise of an established technology leader
A team of brilliant minds working together toward a bold vision for Europe's technological sovereignty
