Flight Control Design Engineer

We are seeking a Flight Control Law Design engineer in our San Luis Obispo, CA facility. This person will help develop vehicle flight control laws for the Primary Flight Control System and the Automatic Flight Control System of a highly augmented air vehicle. In this role you will be responsible for design and testing of flight control law functions that include rotorcraft-like flight operations and fixed-wing-like flight control.

Key Responsibilities:

• Establish requirements for FBW flight control function performance, integrity, and availability.
• Create verification tests to demonstrate the flight control functions based on requirements. 
• Design and analyze flight control law functions for primary and automatic flight control systems.
• Conduct, analyze results, and document verification test of flight control law functions.
• Support flight testing of flight control law functions.

Requirements

• A Bachelor's Degree in a relevant engineering area
• 3+ years of experience with fixed-wing or rotorcraft control law, design, analysis, and testing.
• Fluency in Matlab and Simulink.
• Experience with IBM DOORS preferred.
• A deep understanding of classical and modern control system theory and their practical application to design.
• A deep understanding of rotorcraft and/or fixed-wing flight dynamics including knowledge of stability and c
