  • Extensive experience (7-10+ years) with fixed-wing or rotorcraft control law design, analysis, and testing.
  • Proficiency in Matlab and Simulink.
  • A comprehensive understanding of classical and modern control system theories and their practical applications.
  • Expertise in frequency domain concepts and their application to aircraft flight control design.
  • A Bachelor's Degree in a relevant engineering discipline; a Master's or Doctorate Degree is preferred.
  • Familiarity with feedback and feedforward control architectures and their applications.
  • A thorough understanding of rotorcraft and/or fixed-wing flight dynamics, including stability and control principles and handling qualities criteria.
  • Ability to interpret and analyze engineering analyses and test results.
  • A collaborative mindset, with a desire to work in a team-oriented environment.
  • Preferred Qualifications: Experience with IBM DOORS.
  • Knowledge of aircraft certification processes with FAA, EASA, TCCA, or other global certification authorities.
  • Experience with integrated system development in accordance with SAE guidance ARP-4754A.
  • Familiarity with systems compliant with RTCA standards relevant to aircraft development, such as DO-160, DO-254, DO-178, DO-331.

Contract Duration: Multi-year project (2-5+ years)
