Job description

Responsibilities
  • Analyzing and modeling UAV flight mechanics, including aerodynamic forces, stability, and control response.
  • Evaluating and refining flight performance metrics such as endurance, climb rate, turn capability, and control authority.
  • Correlating flight test data with aerodynamic and performance models to validate system behavior and identify discrepancies.
  • Supporting flight envelope expansion, ensuring aircraft operate safely within aerodynamic and structural limits.
  • Contributing to defining and verifying performance requirements and mission‑level objectives.
  • Supporting flight testing as required.
  • Reviewing, documenting, and tuning existing control and navigation algorithms for attitude, position, and mission control.
  • Analyzing control law performance under various flight conditions and refining parameters for improved stability and response.
  • Investigating and explaining observed flight behaviors through theoretical and numerical analysis.
  • Supporting estimation and sensor fusion performance assessment (IMU, GPS, air data, magnetometer, etc.).
  • Collaborating with software and flight test teams to ensure accurate implementation and documentation of GNC logic.
  • Owning and continuously advancing a comprehensive understanding of the autopilot and flight control software architecture, including embedded systems, control laws, and aircraft‑level integration.
  • Interpreting and documenting algorithmic flow and software‑hardware interactions.
  • Collaborating with embedded engineers to ensure correct integration and calibration of control laws.
  • Occasionally implementing or prototyping algorithm modifications and diagnostic tools using C/C++, Python, or MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Interpreting electrical wiring diagrams and avionics schematics to understand system interfaces and dependencies.
  • Supporting system integration and troubleshooting activities related to sensors, flight computers, and actuators.
  • Participating in hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL), software‑in‑the‑loop (SIL), and bench‑level testing to validate overall flight system behavior.
  • Producing and maintaining detailed technical documentation, including algorithm descriptions, test procedures, and performance reports.
  • Contributing to simulation model improvement and data processing workflows.
  • Staying informed on advances in UAV flight dynamics, GNC theory, and aeronautical system modeling.
  • Mentoring junior engineers on principles of flight mechanics, stability, and control system design.
Requirements
