    REPORTING TO: Chief Engineer


    SUMMARY:

    The Aerospace Simulation & Controls Engineer plays a fundamental role in developing the key elements of an autonomous system. This position will design and develop flight or mission-critical onboard software for aircraft, helicopters, and path planning systems. As part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team, the candidate will participate hands-on in the full software life cycle, from concept through implementation; integration all the way to flight test. Piasecki Aircraft uses a multidisciplinary team to generate solutions, and our software development team frequently drives system design and execution of the research. A broad perspective and passion for execution are typical characteristics of successful software engineers at Piasecki Aircraft.


    RESPONSIBILITIES:

    • Aerospace requirements definition and specification development
    • Develop sequencing logic for vehicle autopilot, autonomy, and sub-system automation.
    • Design software interfaces and implement functionality.
    • Develop Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) and Software in-the-Loop (SITL) simulation.
    • Perform stability and control analysis of integrated flight and propulsion control systems.
    • Develop requirements and test cases for formal verification and validation in a simulation environment and systems integration labs.
    • Assist in the creation of formal unit and module test architectures for flight control and mission systems.
    • Write test plans and test cases, conduct unit-, integration-, and system-level testing.
    • Support aircraft flight testing.


    KNOWLEDGE / SKILLS / ABILITIES:

    • 5+ years of relevant aerospace or robotics experience. Advanced degrees could substitute for experience.
    • Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and C.
    • Experience with the design of flight control laws for atmospheric flight vehicles including linear and non-linear analysis techniques in the time and frequency domains.
    • Experience with flight dynamics and simulation modeling.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a team player mindset


    EDUCATION / CERTIFICATIONS / CLEARANCES:

    • Bachelor’s degree with a major in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
