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