⠀We’re looking for experienced Simulator Engineers to join our Engineering team and help keep five Level D full-flight simulators operating at peak performance (AW139, AW169, Bell 412, EMB‑145 and King Air 350).

If you’re passionate about safety, reliability and world-class training, this is your opportunity to make a direct impact. You’ll support CAE’s vision to be the global training partner of choice by ensuring our training devices remain qualified, available and ready for every session. In this role, you’ll carry out routine technical work, perform first-line troubleshooting, and work with the team to maintain all devices to their qualification standards.

What you’ll be doing

• Support Flight Simulator Training Devices and/or Cabin Crew Training Devices by attending maintenance calls and handling device set-up, conversions and demos.

• Run recurrent QTGs and perform first-line troubleshooting using schematics and aircraft/device system documentation. Use the Maintenance Management System to record, track and review maintenance activity.

• Support recurrent data and content updates (Nav DB, Terr DB, OIS and EFB charts, documents and performance data), including IOS lesson plan uploads and troubleshooting. Maintain accurate records of all updates.

• Maintain stock control of consumables and tooling, and raise requests to ensure the team has what it needs to complete PMTs and DR activities.

• Support logistics activities such as annual inventories, stores re-organisation, packing and shipping preparation. Carry out housekeeping and administrative tasks to support the Technical Services group as required.

• Work in line with local and global CAE Environmental Health & Safety standards and safe working procedures, taking duty of care for your own H&S and that of others.

What you’ll bring

• Technical College Diploma or Degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or an Aviation-related field

• At least 2 years’ experience working with flight simulators

• Excellent English skills (spoken and written)

• Customer-focused, with the ability to build and maintain effective working relationships

• Strong working knowledge of computer architecture, networking, operating systems and programming languages, with the ability to make minor software changes

• Solid technical capability (hardware and software) and familiarity with flight simulator technical issues across systems (e.g., motion, visual, avionics, dynamics of flight and aircraft systems)

• Working knowledge of a range of aircraft types, including commercial jetliners

• Good understanding of aircraft and training device terminology

• Good understanding of commercial aviation training

• Knowledge of local and international regulations (e.g., EASA, UAE DGCA), with demonstrated experience as they relate to FSTDs
