• Strong mathematical modelling
• MATLAB
• Python (NumPy/SciPy)
• PX4 SITL

Responsibilities

• Design and implement guidance logic for interception, landing, and multi-vehicle coordination, working closely with flight controls and autonomy teams.
• Implement optimal trajectories and intercept logic
• Develop collision avoidance and landing approaches
• Integrate guidance with PX4 controllers
• Simulate target motion and future states
• Validate performance in simulation and flight tests
