Senior GNC Engineer - Flight Controls & Autonomy

Develop and improve flight control, guidance, and navigation algorithms for high-speed aircraft

Design and implement control laws, estimation logic, and sensor fusion strategies for autonomous and piloted flight applications, with an emphasis on autonomous takeoff and landing

Develop and analyze linear control models and dynamic system representations to support controller design, stability analysis, and performance assessment

Build and refine high-fidelity models of vehicle dynamics, sensors, actuators, and control system behavior using MATLAB, Simulink, and related simulation tools

Conduct 6-DOF simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, regression testing, and performance studies to validate system robustness across nominal and off-nominal conditions

Support software and system integration across flight controls, navigation, avionics, and other vehicle subsystems

Execute and analyze software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and system integration testing campaigns

Support flight test planning, real-time test execution, and post-flight data analysis to validate and improve control and estimation performance

Collaborate closely with avionics, software, test, and vehicle engineering teams to define requirements, interfaces, and system architecture

Drive technical trade studies for sensors, estimators, control logic, and autonomy-related subsystems

Contribute to verification strategies, test coverage definition, and system-level performance validation

Document technical work clearly through reports, test reviews, and design presentations
