Requirements
- Professional experience in one or more of the following areas: flight dynamics and control, dynamic modeling of complex physical systems, model identification, statistical analysis.
- Demonstrate enthusiasm and proficiency in both simulation practices and hands-on work with hardware, spanning from bench-level experimentation to comprehensive flight tests.
- Software skills in both technical computing (MATLAB, SciPi, Julia, etc) and embedded software (Rust, C, C++), with experience working in a large, complex, multi-developer environment.
Responsibilities
- Develop dynamic models of complex systems and components that are core to our high fidelity 6DOF simulation.
- Analyze and improve the performance of existing and future vehicle designs through a combination of simulation and flight tests.
- Play a key role in deriving and verifying requirements for both hardware components and software interfaces, while balancing the technical need and broader product prerequisites as well as safety and regulatory standards.
- Identify and develop processes and tools to improve efficiency and protect against regressions.
- Design and implement onboard integrity tests to monitor how well the aircraft is flying and aid in understanding off-nominal performance and flight failures, both in research and validation flights, as well as in the production fleet.
- Work in a high performing team, sharing your experience and improving efficiency while developing the next generation of logistics.
