Job description

Description

You will help to design and develop Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) systems and algorithms for our drone systems and be part of a tight-knit team that provides safe, reliable drone systems and quality services to our distinguished customers in Singapore and around the region.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and modify guidance, navigation, and flight control systems and algorithms for our unmanned aircraft systems.
• Develop and modify 6-DOF and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation environments.
• Select, test, evaluate and integrate new sensors or navigation systems onto our drone systems.
• Write, modify, and test firmware and flight code that runs on the flight control computers of our drone systems (in C or C++).
• Analyze flight data to verify flight performance and to help to troubleshoot issues that are found during the flights of our drone systems.
• Generate documentation on the specifications, design, test procedures and test results of the GNC systems and algorithms that were developed.
• Participate in design and code reviews.
• Support ground and flight test activities.
• Work in a collaborative manner with staff in other engineering (e.g. system, software, safety, flight test, etc.) and business groups

Technical Skills and Competencies

• Knowledge in system modelling and control, analysis, and simulation in aircraft applications.
• Knowledge in developing model-based design and analyses using MATLAB/Simulink.
• Knowledge in inertial and other type of sensors for navigation (e.g. accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, GNSS receivers, pressure sensors, ranging sensors, etc.)
• Knowledge in Kalman filtering, digital signal processing and sensor data fusion.
• Proficient in C/C++ programming language.
• Excellent written and verbal skills.
