Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with UAS or autonomous aircraft flight-control systems.
• Experience configuring, integrating, tuning, developing, or troubleshooting flight controllers.
• Understanding of aircraft stability, control, navigation, sensors, and flight-control architecture.
• Experience analyzing flight logs, telemetry, or other flight-test data.
• Experience integrating flight controllers with aircraft sensors, propulsion systems, communications, and other onboard systems.

Responsibilities

• Integrate, configure, test, and troubleshoot UAS flight-control systems.
• Support flight-controller setup, parameter configuration, tuning, and validation.
• Diagnose aircraft stability, control, navigation, communication, and flight-performance issues.
• Analyze flight logs, telemetry, sensor data, and aircraft behavior to identify root causes.
• Integrate flight controllers with GPS/GNSS, IMUs, magnetometers, barometers, ESCs, motors, telemetry, communications systems, and other components.
• Develop and execute bench, ground, and flight-testing procedures.
• Validate new aircraft configurations, components, firmware releases, and flight-control changes.
• Support development and testing of failsafes, flight modes, autonomous functionality, and other flight-control features.
• Troubleshoot complex aircraft issues across firmware, avionics, electrical hardware, propulsion, sensors, and communications.
• Work with engineering, production, and operations teams to move new aircraft and system improvements from development into production.
• Provide engineering-level support for flight-control issues identified during production or field operations.
• Document aircraft configurations, parameters, test results, technical issues, and corrective actions.
