Autonomous Flight Guidance & Motion Planning

Harmattan AI; Paris; In loco; EUR 90.000 - 130.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Harmattan AI is advancing high-speed autonomous flight. We seek a Flight Guidance & Motion Planning Engineer to own motion planning, trajectory generation, and guidance laws across Lausanne, Paris, or Zurich.

You will integrate inputs from estimation and perception, weighing classical vs learning-based methods to ensure safe, fast decisions at speed. Join a team tackling mission-critical defense systems, with opportunities to mentor junior engineers and influence across the development cycle

Competenze

• Strong academic record in aerospace, robotics, or GNC; practical track record matters.
• Experience with onboard motion planning, trajectory generation, and tracking.
• Hands-on experience closing a control loop on a perception output.
• Familiarity with learning-based planning or guidance and simulation-based training.

Mansioni

• Motion Planning: Plan dynamically feasible paths onboard with obstacle avoidance and replanning.
• Trajectory Generation: Convert paths to references within airframe and actuator limits.
• Guidance Laws: Design laws to steer the aircraft along the reference.
• Interfaces & Perception Coupling: Manage latency, rate, and dropout for ego-state and perception inputs.
• Mode & Failsafe Logic: Support cruise, loiter, and approach modes with fail-safe behavior.
• Flight Test & Diagnosis: Verify in simulation, SITL, and HITL, iterate from logs.
• Mentorship: Provide guidance to junior engineers.
