- Conduct innovative research and designs to increase the normal functional modes as well as emergency modes of the Rotorcraft or UAV flight Control system.
- Define, analyze and review flight control requirements to meet defined and anticipated customer needs and system quality and performance standards.
- Collaborate with other engineering disciplines in planning, design and development of systems to ensure software and hardware performance and compatibility
- Design control systems and define software (architecture and interfaces) then implement said functionality using a model-based approach
- Oversee and support processes and procedures for existing data and reporting activities to support internal and external customer deliverables.
- Typical control system functionality for a UAS includes guidance, navigation & control, mission sequencing, payload control, redundancy and contingency management, uplink and downlink packet encoding and decoding, converting between different serial protocols, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, ground based GUls, and aircraft subsystem control (i.e., engine, electrical system, fuel system).
- BS degree in Aerospace, Computer Engineering or applicable engineering or science field
- Must be a "US Person" - (US Citizen or Green Card Holder)
- Two years' experience in a professional environment developing in MATLAB, Simulink control system development with auto code experience. Embedded code experience preferred.
- Experience in developing 6 DOF simulations, preference helicopters
- Drive usage of tools: Matlab/Simulink, C, C, FORTRAN or Python for cost efficient development and execution of program.
- Experience developing scripts to run batch processes
- Experience doing data post processing from simulation or flight testing
- Must have at least two years of demonstrated, hands-on professional experience in at least one, ideally a combination, of the following areas:
- Model-based design and/or test using the Simulink/Stateflow tool chain.
- Software development in a relevant subject matter area: Aircraft GNC or other robotic system guidance, navigation and control; ground- or airborne mission systems; general aerospace flight control or cockpit avionics systems; ground stations; payload control.
- Development/operations of hardware-in-the-loop simulators, conducting testing and troubleshooting of HW/SW interfaces.
- Open Architecture oriented systems (FACE) applied to complex aerospace or military systems (C2, payload data, etc.)
