  • Integrate state estimation solutions with various hardware components, including air data systems, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and other aviation-grade sensors
  • Synthesize system requirements used to drive design and ensure cross-functional needs are met
  • Develop and execute creative verification and validation (V&V) strategies for state estimation algorithms, including simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, and flight testing
  • Develop and refine models to simulate sensors in nominal, degraded operation, and failure scenarios
  • Analyze and interpret data from simulation, lab testing, and flight testing to identify issues and characterize real-world performance
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including control laws, hardware, software, and test engineers, to solve complex aircraft-level problems and ensure seamless integration
  • Build tools and processes to maximize engineering capability

Requirements:

  • 9+ years of experience in the design, implementation, and verification of state estimation algorithms
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
  • Proficiency in Simulink/MATLAB for algorithm development and simulation
  • Experience with sensor fusion from various sources, including INS, GNSS, airspeed sensors, and altimeters
  • Demonstrated ability to think critically from high-level architecture down to low-level implementation details
  • Proven track record of developing effective V&V methodologies
  • Working level knowledge of ARP4754A, DO-178C, and DO-331

Nice to have:

  • Hands-on experience with flight testing and test plan development
  • Previous experience with flight control or state estimation systems for aircraft such as eVTOLS, helicopters, or fixed-wing airplanes
  • Working knowledge of control algorithms
  • Experience working with aerospace data buses and communication protocols
  • Experience working with regulation authorities
  • Experience developing or testing fly-by-wire flight control systems
What we offer:
