Simulation Engineer

pOur client, a major player in Swiss air navigation services, is looking for a Simulation Engineer to keep the complex simulation environments used by air traffic controllers and instructors reliable and ready for training. You will integrate applications and systems, automate practical tasks, assemble and deploy simulation baselines, and verify that the complete environment works as intended. /p pThe environment brings together operational ATC systems, situation generators, emulated components, internally developed applications and supplier products, with both legacy and newer technologies. Development accounts for approximately 5–10% of the workload; most of the work involves scripting, integration, configuration, testing and technical support. /p pYou will be responsible for: /p h3Integration and deployment /h3 ul liIntegrating new and changed systems into the simulation environment, working with project teams to understand interfaces, dependencies and configuration needs. /li liCreating and maintaining simulation baselines: consistent packages of application versions, configuration and data required to run a defined environment. /li liDistributing and deploying baselines, preparing environments for training activities and checking that applications and connected systems operate together. /li liWriting and maintaining scripts to automate configuration, deployment, verification and recurring operational tasks. /li /ul h3Testing, validation and support /h3 ul liPerforming integration testing and technical validation; recording defects, investigating causes and coordinating corrective actions. /li liSupporting operational validation by controllers and instructors, preparing technically ready environments and resolving issues identified during exercises. /li liProviding technical support beyond the first-line hotline, diagnosing application, configuration, interface and data-flow problems with the responsible specialist teams. /li liInvestigating exchanges between systems, including network-level behaviour and aviation data interfaces. /li /ul h3Maintenance and coordination /h3 ul liMaking limited software changes and maintenance contributions when required, and maintaining clear technical documentation and handover information. /li liCoordinating assigned technical activities, communicating dependencies and risks, and contributing to planning and delivery within the team. /li liFollowing internal quality, safety and change-control processes, and helping colleagues maintain continuity during organisational and technical change. /li /ul h3Required skills: /h3 ul liYou have substantial experience working with complex, interconnected technical systems (around 5–10 years as a guide; depth and relevance matter more than a fixed threshold). /li liYou have practical scripting and automation skills, with evidence of improving deployment, configuration, testing or support tasks. /li liYou have hands-on application or systems integration experience, including configuration management, release preparation and troubleshooting across interfaces. /li liYou have experience validating changes and preparing reliable environments for users, with a structured approach to defects and technical evidence. /li liYou have a software engineering foundation that enables you to understand application behaviour, investigate problems and contribute small changes. /li liExperience in air traffic control, air traffic management or controller-training simulation is an asset. /li liKnowledge of Linux/Unix, networking and the analysis of data exchanges between distributed applications is an asset. /li liExperience with Java and integration technologies such as Spring or Apache Camel is an asset. /li liExperience with deployment and configuration automation using Puppet, Ansible or comparable tools is an asset. /li liKnowledge of aviation messaging, surveillance or flight-data interfaces, supplier systems and legacy integration is an asset. /li /ul h3Your profile: /h3 ul liYou enjoy making complete systems work, tracing difficult faults and preparing dependable environments for operational users. /li liYou are motivated by a varied, hands-on role in which coding is one part of a broader responsibility. /li liYou have an interest in operational reliability and are willing to work with established technologies as well as newer components. /li liYou communicate clearly, show sound judgement and share knowledge within the team. /li liYou are comfortable working constructively through organisational change while maintaining reliable delivery. /li liYou are interested in a long-term contribution, as learning the simulation environment requires a significant investment. /li /ul #J-18808-Ljbffr
