Job description

8+ Years

Full-Time

Who we are:

We are a start‑up based out of Bengaluru & Delhi NCR. We are engaged in development of

next generation missions and technologies (NGM&T) towards future warfare needs of the

Indian defence forces. It is undertaking research towards enhancing persistence and

autonomy for unmanned vehicles and robotic swarms. NRT’s product development portfolio

includes a solar power stratospheric high altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) unmanned

platform, and an air/ground launched stand-off autonomous system.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Establish processes for the development of the flight control system.
• Plan and execute test procedures for verification and validation of the flight control system.
• Develop mathematical models for simulating motion of flexible aircraft.
• Establish Flight control system architecture for aeroelastic aircraft.
• Control surface sizing and evaluating control surface effectiveness for aeroelastic aircraft.
• Control law development for aeroelastic modes and path stabilization.
• Create MATLAB code/ Simulink models to evaluate guidance, flight control and estimation algorithms
• Establish test setup for SIL, PIL and HIL simulations. Evaluate limitations and calibrate for errors.
• Post flight analysis and evaluation of Flight Control System.
• Prepare work breakdown plan for given problem statement.
• Coordinate with flight controls team and stakeholders to meet project requirements and deadlines
• Consistently and proactively work with team members to solve complex design problems.
• Guide team members for execution of project specific tasks.

Must have skills:

• 6+ years of experience in flight dynamics modeling, flight simulation development, control law design, guidance law design (or) state estimator design.
• Knowledge of fundamental concepts of state estimation, guidance and flight control.
• Strong foundation in flight mechanics, mathematical modeling, and flight control design (or) state estimator design.
• Proven experience in developing flight control and guidance (or) state estimators/kalman filters from concept to flight testing.
• Control system design using MATLAB, Simulink and other tools.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Creative problem solving and analytical skills.

Good to have skills:

• A sound understanding of aeroelastic flight dynamic modeling and control law development.
• Exposure to certification of flight control laws.
• Bachelors or Masters in Aerospace / Aeronautical / Controls engineering with at least 1 degree in Aerospace / Aeronautical Engineering or relevant work experience in the Aerospace domain and minimum 5 years of experience
