Flight Control Systems Engineer
About The Position
As a Flight Control Systems Engineer, you will be implementing and improving the flight control algorithm, running simulations and analysis to validate control law design, drafting tests to verify system level behavior in labs and on-aircraft. You will work alongside the system test team to debug and verify system performance and failure handling. You will help certification engineers draft and manage requirements and review test cases and procedures. You will work with the modeling team to create simulations and analysis frameworks for collecting and presenting critical design data. You will collaborate with the Aircraft, Safety, Avionics, Loads, Performance, and Rotor Dynamics teams to identify deficiencies and refine the aircraft design. You will work with test pilots to define desirable handling and flying characteristics, participate in mission planning, scenario simulations, and provide in-person support during envelope expansion flight testing. You will work with software engineers to ensure relevant tests are run and relevant artifacts are produced, stored, and linked.
