Fatih, Istanbul, Turkey OneSec Full time
Flight Simulation Engineer for VTOL delivery drone

OneSec is pioneering drone delivery technology, pushing the boundaries of autonomous drone systems to make on-demand deliveries a reality. Our team in Istanbul is developing a next-generation VTOL drone powered by cutting-edge AI and a custom-built autopilot.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a Simulation and Modeling Engineer to help design, implement, and refine the simulation environments crucial to testing and validating our autonomous drone systems. In this role, you will develop accurate, high-fidelity simulation environments to evaluate and improve our custom drone flight controller and AI-powered autopilot. This position is critical to ensuring the performance, safety, and reliability of our drones in real-world scenarios.

You will work closely with our AI, avionics, and embedded systems teams to create sensor models and simulate flight dynamics, enabling comprehensive testing in a virtual space. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of drone flight physics and simulation technologies, combined with the ability to build custom simulations that integrate seamlessly with our in-house autopilot software and Unity-based visualization tools.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments using tools like Gazebo, Simulink, or custom-built solutions.
  • Create accurate sensor models (IMU, GPS, optical flow) for testing flight controllers and autonomous systems.
  • Simulate and refine drone flight dynamics, supporting design iterations and control system validation.
  • Collaborate with the engineering team to integrate the simulator with our custom flight controller and autopilot.
  • Interface the simulation outputs with Unity for visualization and real-time feedback.
  • Run automated simulations and analyze results to improve control algorithms and system performance.
  • Ensure the simulation environment accurately reflects real-world conditions, facilitating reliable testing and validation.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Proven experience in drone or aerospace simulation using tools like Gazebo, Simulink, or equivalent.
  • Strong knowledge of sensor simulation (IMU, GPS, optical flow, etc.) and flight dynamics modeling.
  • Proficiency in C++ or Python for developing and integrating simulation components.
  • Experience with control system testing and validation in a simulated environment.
  • Familiarity with Unity for visualizing simulation outputs.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, startup environment, balancing flexibility with precision.

Preferred Skills:

  • Familiarity with UAV/VTOL aircraft flight control systems and autonomous drone operation.
  • Strong background in state estimation techniques (e.g., Kalman filters) and embedded systems.
