About the role:

You will join Quantum Systems’ Aircraft Domain, where we develop large airborne systems and bring them to operational readiness. At the heart of the domain is our multi-role aircraft programme, serving both civil and military applications. The Pulse P19, is our flagship product, with additional airborne system developments set to expand the domain’s product portfolio in the near future.

As a Flight Control Law Engineer, you will play a key role in our Aircraft Domain team, driving the development and validation of flight control laws across the full flight envelope. Alongside your design responsibilities, you will have the opportunity to participate in flight testing.

Working closely with colleagues across all aircraft development aspects, you will be able to contribute to multiple engineering objectives, with responsibilities ranging from hands‑on technical work to system‑level ownership.

What is your day‑to‑day mission:

• Design, implement, and validate flight control algorithms for fixed‑wing aircraft in MATLAB / Simulink

• Flight dynamics analysis across the full flight envelope

• Derivation of requirements based on high‑level requirements

• Implementation of flight control laws in Simulink

• Robustness and performance analysis of linear and nonlinear controllers

• Consideration of fault scenarios, time delays, and controller degradation

• Analysis of controller dynamics over the whole flight envelope and different flight phases

• Evaluate flight tests and analyse performance of flight control algorithms

• Define, execute, and evaluate tests of flight control laws in simulation environments

• Document implementation and ensure traceability to both requirements and test cases

What you bring to the team:

• You have a Master’s degree in the field of aerospace engineering (or similar course of studies)

• You already have at least 2 years of professional experience in flight dynamics and flight control development.

• Proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow

• Your open, communicative, very friendly and competent manner makes it easy for you to be seen as an internal expert.

• You are highly self‑motivated and drive your area of responsibility forward independently.

• Communication in English is a matter of course for you.
