Autonomous Flight Guidance & Motion Planning Engineer

Harmattan AI; Lavamünd; Vor Ort; EUR 90.000 - 150.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Harmattan AI is seeking a Flight Guidance & Motion Planning Engineer to own motion planning, trajectory generation, and guidance laws for high-speed autonomous flight, based in Lausanne, Paris, or Zurich.

You will work with estimation and perception pipelines, weighing learning-based and classical methods, and mentor junior engineers while delivering mission-critical defense automation.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in aerospace, robotics, GNC, or related STEM field.
• Proven experience with onboard motion planning, trajectory generation, and tracking, and with guidance laws on flying platforms.
• Hands-on experience closing a control loop on a perception output, handling latency and dropout.
• Familiarity with learning-based planning or guidance and simulation-based training, with the judgment to weigh it against classical approaches.
• Strong professional attributes and commitment to the mission of Harmattan AI.
• Bonus: experience with vision-based or perception-coupled guidance.

Aufgaben

• Motion Planning: Plan dynamically feasible paths onboard, including obstacle avoidance, replanning as the situation changes, and perception-aware planning.
• Trajectory Generation: Turn those paths into feasible references under airframe and actuator limits, handed cleanly to the control loop.
• Guidance Laws: Design the laws that steer the aircraft along the reference and hold it there.
• Interfaces & Perception Coupling: Own the input contracts for the ego-state from Navigation and the perception pipeline, and handle their latency, rate, and dropout.
• Mode & Failsafe Logic: Across cruise, loiter, and approach, including lost-link behavior.
• Flight Test & Diagnosis: Verify across simulation, SITL, and HITL, including Monte Carlo campaigns, then fly and iterate from logs.
• Mentorship: Depending on seniority, support the team by mentoring junior engineers.
