Structural test engineer vs simulation engineer

Differences between structural test engineer and simulation engineer duties and responsibilities

Structural test engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage Jenkins security by providing specific access to authorize developers/testers using project base matrix authorization strategy.
• Collaborate with frequency managers, FCC, FAA, and local spectrum authorities to plan frequency assignments.
• Import the model to perform simulation in ANSYS to procure the optimum design of a typical high mach air-frame structure.
• Formulate conceptual design of aeronautical, aerospace products or systems to meet customer requirements and communicate feed back to design engineers.
• Utilize rapid prototyping as proof of concepts for multiple new designs.
• Create PERL scripts to generate flying probe test programs from FabMaster outputs, saving licensing fees for commercial test development products.

Simulation engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage hardware and software development, integration, and support of the HIL simulation laboratory.
• Manage Jenkins security by providing specific access to authorize developers/testers using project base matrix authorization strategy.
• Create numerous SBIR/STTR proposals for NASA and DOD.
• Train clients in the usage of engineering software such as AutoCAD and MATLAB.
• Integrate aircraft and telescope physics base sensor models using C++ and Java programming languages.
• Integrate a Lockheed develop discrimination model (SIMULINK generate C++ code) into the simulation to provide additional fidelity.
