ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Flight Control Engineer to develop control loops, dynamic models, and stabilization logic for our high-altitude drones and atmospheric designs. You will optimize flight handling under challenging atmospheric conditions.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop mathematical flight dynamics models and simulations in MATLAB/Simulink.
• Tune PID and model predictive control (MPC) loops for multirotor drone platforms.
• Implement and test flight control logic in PX4/ArduPilot custom firmware.
• Execute hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) simulations to validate control parameters.

PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Control Systems, or Robotics Engineering.
• Strong background in control theory (classical and modern control system loops).
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and C++ code customization.
• Experience with flight simulators and software-in-the-loop testing.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience tuning flight controllers for large heavy-lift drone platforms.
• Familiarity with high-altitude aerodynamic models.
