Job description

What are your contributions to the team?

• Develop and improve both new and existing CLaws design as well the corresponding assessment tools using Matlab and C++ programming
• Support CLaws, autopilot, and navigation design development for R&D projects
• Develop CLaws and systems requirements
• Perform CLaws requirements validation and verification (V&V) for any Claws updates and/or new Claws designs
• Verify and deliver the CLaws in accordance with the DO‑178B standard and SAE ARP 4754
• Design and develop pilot in the loop CLaws based on handling quality requirements, flight and structural envelope protection requirements, performance requirements, test pilot assessments and aircraft level requirements
• Evaluate CLaws and FBW system failures, system stability and performance with analytical methods, desktop simulations, pilot in the loop simulator tests and flight test data
• Support integration of CLAWS into various test rigs and supplier hardware (i.e. integrate into PFCC for Collins, Thales, NRC, CMC, etc)

How to thrive in this role?

• You hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, PhD degree is preferred in Aerospace Engineering
• You must have a minimum of 10 years of pertinent experience in the development of Flight Control Laws for FBW (Fly‑By‑Wire) aircraft
• You must be versed in aircraft flight dynamics with an in depth understanding of aerodynamics
• You must be versed in "classical" and “modern” control systems design techniques for SISO and MIMO systems and be familiar with advanced control laws techniques and methods
• You must have good understanding of control law evaluation techniques, linear and non‑linear and testing procedures
• You must have a good understanding of aircraft stability, handling qualities, and control with a pilot‑in‑the‑loop
• You should have a good understanding of DO‑178B standards, system requirements verification and validation methods and certification of complex software
• You must be proficient in using Matlab and Simulink as a simulation, aircraft/system modeling and control law development tool
• You should possess a good understanding of state estimation or Kalman filtering
• You should be proficient in programming Matlab scripts and C++ programming
• You must be fluent in written and spoken French and English
• You must be a team player with an innovative spirit, motivated and be able to work independently
