Senior Simulation Software Engineer – Unreal Engine, AI Autonomy

Responsibilities

• Digital Clone Development: You will lead the architecture (Senior) or support the development (Professional) of highly accurate virtual replicas of our flight systems and mission environments using AirSim and Unreal Engine
• Training Environments for RL: You design and maintain extremely scalable simulation infrastructures in which AI agents learn autonomous flight behavior through Reinforcement Learning
• Sim-to-Real Alignment: You ensure realistic physics by validating simulation results against real flight data; you are responsible for the overall strategy (Senior) or actively contribute to the fine‑tuning (Professional) of sensor noise and environmental parameters
• Visualization: You create and optimize graphical representations of flight paths, target tracking, and swarm telemetry for integration into Ground Control Stations (GCS)
• Synthetic Data Generation (SDG): You orchestrate the generation of massive datasets — from extreme weather to camouflage scenarios — to compensate for the lack of real flight data from conflict zones
• Electronic Warfare (EW) Simulation: You design and implement virtual scenarios for GPS spoofing and connection losses to maximize the AI’s resilience against hostile countermeasures

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Game Engine Development, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field (for the Senior role ideally with a Master’s degree or PhD)
• Initial practical experience or solid academic knowledge of simulation frameworks and 3D rendering engines (preferably Unreal Engine or AirSim)
• Several years of relevant professional experience with simulation frameworks and rendering engines, particularly Unreal Engine and AirSim
• Proven track record of 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
• Strong knowledge of C++ and Python for developing simulation features, adapting engines, and integrating into CI/CD pipelines
• Business‑fluent in German and English
