Lead Backend & AI Engineer

Simaero is a global provider of flight simulator training to airlines, training organizations, and commercial pilots. We are launching an ambitious "AI-First" strategy to create a seamless ecosystem for our users, connecting legacy aviation systems with modern mobile apps and intelligent agents.

Taking a significant step towards enhanced pilot training in India, Simaero India is establishing an 8-bay, EASA & DGCA India ATO approved Full Flight Simulator (FFS) facility. Expected to open soon, this comprehensive center boasts a convenient location just 15 minutes from New Delhi's IGI Airport. The facility will feature advanced simulators alongside a dedicated classroom with Computer-Based Training (CBT) for a thorough training experience.
