🛠 Tech Stack
💼 About This Role
You'll design and implement control laws for a revolutionary seaglider, ensuring it transitions smoothly between flight modes. Your work on stabilization, navigation, and safety-critical systems will directly impact the vehicle's certification and real-world performance. You'll collaborate across disciplines and validate algorithms through high-fidelity simulation and real-world sea trials.
🎯 What You'll Do
- Design and implement control laws for stabilization and mode transitions.
- Define and trace safety-critical requirements and lead design reviews.
- Develop GNC algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink for high-fidelity simulation.
- Integrate multisensor navigation using GNSS/INS and radar altimeter.
📋 Requirements
- 3-5 years of experience designing and flight-testing control systems for aircraft or UAS.
- Strong theoretical foundation in control theory with hands-on application.
- Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for control algorithm design and simulation.
- Experience with safety-critical or regulated programs (e.g., DO-178C).
✨ Nice to Have
- Direct contribution to ARP4754A, DO-178C, or DO-254 certification artifacts.
- Experience with CFD-coupled control design or ground-effect dynamics.
- Flight-test or sea-trial planning and execution.
🎁 Benefits & Perks
- 🚀 Equity - ownership in a fast-growing startup.
- 🏖️ Flexible PTO
- 🧠 Learning budget for conferences and courses.
- 🏥 Health, dental, and vision coverage.
- 🍽️ Daily lunch provided at the office.
