Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.
As a Flight Controls Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be part of the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Team. You will design, implement, integrate, and test flight control laws for all phases of operation including autotaxi, auto-takeoff, autoland, and automatic rollout. You integrate real-world hardware and C/C++ flight software as part of ongoing flight test programs, and perform simulation analysis and data reduction in our Python and C/C++ modeling & simulation environment.
Responsibilities
  • Establish autoflight and flight control system requirements
  • Interface with Pilots and Operations team to develop flight test plans, respond to squawks, and communicate design updates
  • Design and analyze flight control laws from conceptual design through implementation and certification
  • Develop simulation models to evaluate flight control system performance and stability
  • Implement control laws and algorithms in flight software
  • Test flight software in simulation, Monte Carlo, hardware-in-loop, and flight

Basic Success Criteria
  • MS in aerospace engineering, robotics, or equivalent field
  • 5+ years of hands on, professional experience developing and testing flight controls algorithms
  • Experience with flight dynamics simulation and model identification
  • Professional experience with developing C/C++ flight software and Python data reduction & analysis
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Preferred Success Criteria
  • PhD in aerospace engineering, robotics, or similar advanced degree
  • Current pilot, instrument or commercial ratings
  • Experience with flight controls, autopilot, or flight management system certification

We are developing and building high-integrity, safety-critical systems for automated flight, and your role is critical to what we do at Reliable Robotics. With the support of the entire team, you will be making key contributions to the autoflight system that drive our core company mission forward.
Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time. This position is based at our facility in Mountain View, California.
The estimated salary range for this position is $162,500 to $248,500. At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.
In addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers and a casual work environment.
