Flight Control Engineer

AVILUS; Ismaning; Vor Ort; EUR 60.000 - 90.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

AVILUS seeks a Master-level or advancing engineer to help build a new class of UAVs. You will design vehicle-specific flight control functions and manage requirements, while contributing to MiL/SiL/HiL testing and CI pipelines for embedded software in aircraft deployments.

You will implement model-based control algorithms, collaborate with simulation teams, and ensure integration with flight operations under security clearance requirements.

Qualifikationen

• Master-level (completed or ongoing) in mechanical, aerospace or electrical engineering.
• Evidence of practical flight control experience.
• Knowledge of control theory, flight control, and eVTOL dynamics.
• Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink, C and Microsoft Office.
• Security clearance Ü2-Sabotageschutz approval required.

Aufgaben

• Design vehicle-specific flight control functions.
• Definition, review, and management of functional and system requirements.
• Implementation of model-based flight control software functions.
• Automatic code generation and embedded software development for aircraft deployment.
• Continuous integration, verification, and reporting within CI pipelines.
• Full system integration and deployment on simulation platforms (MiL/SiL/HiL).
• Functional and integration testing on simulators with Simulation, Test & Verification, and Flight Operations teams.
• Continuous activity tracking and reporting to relevant panels.

Jobbeschreibung

Description

Do you want to work on a New Class of Drones? Our product universe spans three different platforms with maximum take-off weights of up to 1000 kg and characteristic dimensions of 8 m: The hexacopter Grille for medical evacuation, the multi-role rotorcraft Wespe for logistics and support operations, as well as the fixed-wing drone Bussard for surveillance and intelligence missions. All systems are powered by RasCore, our highly redundant, military-grade avionics system for safe operations within EASA’s Specific Category. Three aircraft, one mission: to bridge the gap between small UAVs and traditional manned systems.

You want to experience how your personal vision becomes reality? Your controller is not only a prototype function – it will actually be flying. Within a short time, after design, implementation, as well as MiL- and HiL-testing, your flight control software is handed over to the flight operations team, where you will see how your lines of code come alive on a real aircraft and govern the fate of our rescue mission.

Tasks

• Design and development of vehicle specific and flight control system functions
• Definition, review, and management of functional and system requirements
• Implementation of model-based flight control software functions
• Automatic code generation and development of embedded software for aircraft deployment
• Continuous integration, verification, and reporting within CI pipelines
• Full system integration and deployment on simulation platforms (MiL/SiL/HiL)
• Functional and integration testing on simulators in close collaboration with Simulation, Test&Verification, and Flight Operations teams
• Continuous activity tracking and reporting to relevant panels

Qualifications

• Degree: Completed or ongoing studies (Master) in the domain of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, or comparable programs
• Experience: Evidence of practical flight control experience
• Method Knowledge: Control theory, flight control, flight dynamics of eVTOLs, model-based design
• Tool Knowledge (mandatory): MATLAB/Simulink, C, Microsoft Office
• Required for employment: Security clearance (Ü2-Sabotageschutz) approval (note: relationships in countries according to § 13 para. 1 no. 17 SÜG may result in a negative assessment)
