Job description

Flight Control Engineer

Do you want to work on a New Class of Unmanned Aircraft? 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.

Ismaning

You implement our mission

Description

Do you want to experience your vision coming to life? 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

• 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
• Tool Knowledge (optional): Polarion, GIT
• 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)

Benefits

• Highly motivated, dynamic team
