Lead Flight Control Engineer - Tactical Munitions

As a Lead Flight Control Engineer - Tactical Munitions, you will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and maintaining the flight control and guidance algorithms that power our innovative solutions. Specifically, you will be a key driver on a new electrical tactical munition project. Working closely with the system, hardware, and vision teams, you will guide the platform's flight dynamics from early R&D phases through to field-proven maturity, ensuring it is highly maneuverable and pinpoint accurate.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the design, simulation, and implementation of advanced flight control algorithms for a high-dynamic, tube-launched platform flying at 100m/s.
• Develop and maintain 6-DOF mathematical models of the system's flight dynamics and aerodynamic responses through rapid iterations.
• Integrate flight control loops with the electro-optical computer vision system to enable a seamless "Fire-and-Forget" terminal homing phase.
• Deploy, configure, and tune control laws using Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulations prior to live testing.
• Analyze flight logs and telemetry data from weekly tactical field tests to optimize flight envelopes and resolve dynamic anomalies.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure control algorithms translate into robust technical solutions on physical microcontrollers.

• 5+ years of experience in flight control, guidance, or navigation algorithms.
• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Control Systems, or a related field (M.Sc. is an advantage).
• Deep knowledge of flight dynamics, kinematics, and modern control theory.
• Proven experience leading the development of control laws for UAVs, loitering munitions, or FPV platforms through rapid prototyping.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and MATLAB/Simulink.
• Familiarity with FPV drone development and operations - a strong advantage.
