Flight Control Law Design Engineer
eVTOL development is an exciting and challenging new domain. Compared with existing helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, eVTOL vehicle development has much less history and many more challenges.

As a Flight Control Law Design engineer, you would be a member of the Vehicle Dynamics and Control Team. The Vehicle Dynamics and Control Team a tightly knit team developing vehicle flight control laws for the Primary Flight Control System and the Automatic Flight Control System of a highly augmented air vehicle. In this role you will be responsible for design and testing of flight control law functions that include rotorcraft-like and fixed-wing-like flight control.

The ideal candidate for this position has a strong grasp of control law design fundamentals, understands that application of previous experiences needs to be adjusted to tackle the challenges in this new domain, and enjoys proactively seeking solutions to these technical challenges.

Your responsibilities would include:
• Establish requirements for FBW flight control function performance, integrity, and availability.
• Create verification tests to demonstrate the flight control functions based on requirements.
• Design and analyze flight control law functions for primary and automatic flight control systems.
• Conduct, analyze results, and document verification test of flight control law functions.
• Support flight testing of flight control law functions.

The position requires compliance with USA Export Control regulations
• Candidate is required to be a "US Person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. (US Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)

We’re looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of experience with fixed-wing or rotorcraft control law, design, analysis, and testing in the aerospace industry.
• Fluency in Matlab and Simulink.
• A deep understanding of classical and modern control system theory and their practical application to design.
• Fluency with frequency domain concepts and practical application to aircraft flight control design.
• Familiarity with feedback and feedforward control architectures and their practical application.
• A deep understanding of rotorcraft and/or fixed-wing flight dynamics including knowledge of stability and control principles and application of handling qualities criteria • Ability to read, understand, and interpret results of engineering analyses and tests.
• Desire to work in a team-centric environment and collaboratively work with others on a daily basis. • Strong communication and excellent problem-solving skills
