Control Systems Engineer

We are developing an autonomous fixed-wing aircraft capable of performing highly accurate and complex flight trajectories in challenging wind conditions. We are looking for an engineer with a strong understanding of control theory, flight dynamics, system behavior, filtering, state estimation, and control algorithms who can help us improve how the aircraft responds, tracks trajectories, and handles disturbances.

This is a hands-on role involving control algorithm development, modeling, simulation, flight-data analysis, system tuning, and real-world flight testing .

Working closely with our Flight Dynamics, Embedded and flight test teams you will:

Improve Flight Control Performance: Improve how accurately and consistently the aircraft follows commanded trajectories, attitudes, velocities, and flight paths.

Understand System Behaviour: Analyze why the aircraft oscillates, overshoots, drifts, responds slowly, becomes unstable, or behaves differently across flight conditions.

Develop Control Strategies: Design and improve the overall control architecture to achieve stable, accurate, and predictable aircraft behaviour.

Validate in Flight: Take algorithms from mathematical models and simulation through implementation, tuning, flight testing, and iterative improvement.
