Flight Control & State Estimation Engineer (m/f/d)

About the Role

Our new flight-control system is already alive and flying. Now we want to make it faster, sharper and more capable.

As our Flight Control & State Estimation Engineer, you will push the performance of our interceptor to the next level. You will improve how precisely it estimates its state, how quickly it reacts and how aggressively it can operate without compromising stability or robustness.

From advanced estimation and control algorithms to embedded Rust optimization and flight-test analysis, your work will have a direct and measurable impact on aircraft performance.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

•      Improve state estimation using Kalman filters, particle filters and other advanced estimation methods.

•      Fuse IMU, radar, camera and ToF data into robust vehicle and target-state estimates.

•      Increase the accuracy of velocity and position estimation in GPS-denied environments.

•      Optimize sensor filtering, synchronization, outlier rejection and latency compensation.

•      Develop and tune flight-control algorithms for maximum agility, precis
