Salary
💰 $126,650 - $207,000 per year
About the role
- Assist in defining Guidance, Navigation and Control mission requirements and ensure requirements traceability and quality from the system level to component level
- Use multidisciplinary model data (aero, mass properties, propulsion, etc.) to develop and refine a complex, nonlinear, 6 degrees of freedom simulation model
- Support design of flight control laws using modern linear control design techniques and tools to achieve design and performance targets
- Use advanced nonlinear analysis to assess and refine the control law design
- Perform model validation against test data to inform and improve the accuracy of the simulation environment
- Develop supplementary controllers, limiters, mode logic, and signal shaping to properly bound the performance within all areas of the flight envelope
- Work with flight simulation and Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) software engineers to incorporate control laws into the operational flight program
- Support flight simulations, hardware in the loop testing, and flight testing
- Participate in design reviews, analyses, simulations and component/system testing to ensure delivery of products that meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations
Requirements
