Flight Simulation Software Engineer

Simulation Systems Programmer (C++ / C# / Lua)

Location : [Onsite] – Hyderabad / Bengaluru

Employment Type : Full-Time

Experience : 5+ Years

Domain : Aerospace / Aviation Simulation / Real-Time Systems

About Axial Aero :

We, Axial Aero, are an aerospace technology company at the forefront of developing next generating full motion and full-mission flight simulators. Our goal is to develop ultra-realistic flight simulation technologies by integrating high-fidelity physics, real-time motion systems, including full 360-degree motion with centrifugal forces, and immersive projection / XR.

Role Overview :

We are looking for experienced programmers to contribute to the core simulation logic and integration layer. This includes building FDM SDKs plugins, CIGI host systems, telemetry exporters, and mission control logic, synchronizing flight dynamics with UE5 visuals, managing real-time networking, and integrating physiological and environmental simulation layers.

You will be part of truly multi-disciplinary team, sharing knowledge on materials, mechanical designs, electronics, aerodynamics and aero-engines, human physiology, aviation medicine, firmware, software and AI. As part of the team, you may also have the opportunity to visit restricted military / civil aerospace installations and interact with operators in the field and may have the privilege of interacting with decorated soldiers and officers of the Indian armed forces.

Your primary focus would be to contribute to developing a field deployable Aviation simulation platform, combining FDM SDKs physics with Unreal Engine 5 visualization, intended for pilot training and operational readiness exercises.

If you have a passion for simulation technology, physics-based systems, and aviation training and patriotism to contribute to Bharat’s Aatmanirbharata, this is the perfect role for you!

Key Responsibilities :

Core Simulation Development

• Develop FDM SDK plugins to simulate entity behaviour, sensors, and weapons systems
• Implement CIGI Host systems to communicate with Unreal Engine Image Generator (IG)
• Parse and process real-time CIGI messages for entities, terrain queries, and sensor effects Networking & Telemetry
• Design and manage UDP / TCP socket communication between systems (e.G., FDM ↔ UE5 ↔ I / O devices)
• Develop telemetry loggers / exporters in Lua or C# for mission playback, analysis, and debugging
• Optimize packet scheduling, threading, and serialization pipelines
