Requirements
- Your applied math skills stand out even among aerospace engineers.
- You think simulations and working with hardware are both fun.
- You have owned and developed controls solutions for a team project, thesis, or competition.
- Exposure in one or more of the following areas: precision integrated inertial navigation, dynamic modeling of complex systems, linear control analysis, or optimal control with uncertainty.
- Software engineering skills, preferably with both embedded software (C, C++) and technical computing (MATLAB, python, Julia, etc.). Experience with Github and working in a multi-developer environment is an advantage.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the design, implementation, testing and release of innovative flight algorithms that improve the operational performance of our vehicle controllers.
- Create tools and tests to demonstrate your design performance and protect against software regressions, using both theoretical guarantees and simulations.
- Analyze flight data to assess recent changes and upgrades, looking for regressions and potential areas for future improvement.
- Design onboard integrity tests to communicate when the system performance is degraded.
- Present key results and changes to the broader engineering team.
