Lead Flight Control Engineer - Tactical Munitions

About the Role

Description As a Lead Flight Control Engineer - Tactical Munitions, you will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and maintaining the flight control and guidance algorithms that power our innovative solutions. Specifically, you will be a key driver on a new electrical tactical munition project. Working closely with the system, hardware, and vision teams, you will guide the platform's flight dynamics from early R&D phases through to field-proven maturity, ensuring it is highly maneuverable and pinpoint accurate. Responsibilities: • Drive the design, simulation, and implementation of advanced flight control algorithms for a high-dynamic, tube-launched platform flying at 100m/s. • Develop and maintain 6-DOF mathematical models of the system's flight dynamics and aerodynamic responses through rapid iterations. • Integrate flight control loops with the electro-optical computer vision system to enable a seamless "Fire-and-Forget" terminal homing phase. • Deploy, configure, and tune control laws using Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulations prior to live testing. • Analyze flight logs and telemetry data from weekly tactical field tests to optimize flight envelopes and resolve dynamic anomalies. • Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure control algorithms translate into robust technical solutions on physical microcontrollers. Requirements • 5+ years of experience in flight control, guidance, or navigation algorithms. • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Control Systems, or a related field (M.Sc. is an advantage). • Deep knowledge of flight dynamics, kinematics, and modern control theory. • Proven experience leading the development of control laws for UAVs, loitering munitions, or FPV platforms through rapid prototyping. • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and MATLAB/Simulink. • Familiarity with FPV drone development and operations - a strong advantage.
