You will be responsible for the development of SkyDrive’s complete aircraft real-time capable simulation models deployed on desktop computers and piloted engineering simulators. The simulation model is used for aircraft design and certification activities, for safety of flight assessment prior to actual flight test and for test pilot training. You will be involved in the development and integration of simulation models with the company’s engineering simulation devices.
You may also be called upon to develop, support, and maintain the simulation team’s software tools used to increase the team’s productivity and efficiency. These tools include requirements management, version and configuration control, data visualization, automation of tasks.
The "eVTOL" is the most advanced development in the world, combining "technology for flying" and "power electronics". To achieve this goal, our various teams, including flight controls, avionics, electrical/power systems, and flight sciences in collaboration with our test pilots, are working in unison to advance the project. We are confident that you will be able to fully demonstrate your abilities and participate in this world-leading activity, which you will not be able to experience anywhere else.
Computer based simulation has become an essential element of modern aircraft design to provide a robust, optimized, and safe vehicle for flight crews and passengers. SkyDrive has opted to develop its simulation capability in support of the design, testing and certification of its aircraft. You will play a pivotal role in this cutting-edge capability.
We offer an environment where you can expand your knowledge and skills by providing innovative software solutions to the company’s aircraft simulation testing needs.
Place of Employment

SkyDrive Inc. is a pioneering Japanese aerospace company with the mission to "Take the lead in the once-in-a-century mobility revolution" and the vision to let people "Fly in the Sky" (Beyond Drive.). Established in July 2018 , we are developing and manufacturing compact, all-electric eVTOL (electrical Vertical TakeOff and Landing) aircraft to make everyday air travel accessible to everyone.
Our flagship aircraft, the SKYDRIVE (SD-05), is engineered to be a quiet, lightweight, and low-cost air taxi, perfectly suited for dense urban environments. By requiring no runway and offering vertical takeoff and landing in small spaces, our eVTOLs allow for point-to-point transit that bypasses traffic congestion, significantly reducing travel times in major cities. Furthermore, our electric powertrain ensures a minimal environmental footprint with low noise and zero operational emissions, making it ideal for social acceptance in urban areas.
SkyDrive is currently working towards receiving Type Certification from JCAB as early as 2026. We are laying the groundwork for commercial operations globally, with a focus on launching initial routes in the Osaka Bay Area around 2028 , including demonstration flights at the EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai. Our market traction is strong, with over 384 pre-orders as of March 2025 across 7 countries and strategic partnerships in the U.S., Vietnam, India, and Thailand.
SkyDrive is committed to bringing sustainable, efficient, and innovative air mobility solutions to the world.
