Design autonomous aircraft control laws at Dominion Dynamics using MATLAB/Simulink, from dynamic modeling through real flight testing. This is a full-time engineering role.
As Flight Controls Engineer, you will develop Scout’s fly-by-wire control system for standard and dynamic flight regimes. You will translate mission parameters into GNC and software requirements, guide hardware selection, and support the aircraft from clean-sheet design through flight. The work spans simulation, rigs, telemetry, and flight testing.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and tune inner- and outer-loop control logic
- Build high-fidelity aircraft models in MATLAB/Simulink
- Derive GNC requirements from mission parameters
- Lead SIL, HIL, and real-time simulator testing
- Analyze telemetry and recalibrate parameters between flights
Requirements:
- Flight control law experience on aircraft that flew
- Strong classical and modern control theory grounding
- Fluency in MATLAB/Simulink for aircraft modeling
- Hands-on SIL/HIL flight control software testing
- Experience writing GNC requirements within systems engineering
Apply flight dynamics, control theory, MATLAB/Simulink, and telemetry analysis to Dominion Scout’s autonomous aircraft.
