Original job description

Sr. Flight Controls Engineer

Bingen, WA (onsite, with relocation assistance provided)

$177-207k

Direct Hire

Job Summary

This engineer analyzes real flight data, compares it to flight models, and works out why the aircraft behaves the way it does. Youll tune and evaluate flight control and navigation behavior on unmanned aircraft and work across flight dynamics, GNC, software, and avionics. Youll be the person the team turns to when the aircraft didnt behave as expected, helping them make informed, safe decisions and documenting findings so others can rely on them later.

Responsibilities

Analyze and model UAV flight mechanics, including aerodynamic forces, stability, and control response.
Evaluate and refine flight performance metrics such as endurance, climb rate, turn capability, and control authority.
Correlate flight test data with aerodynamic and performance models to validate system behavior and identify discrepancies.
Support flight envelope expansion so the aircraft operates safely within aerodynamic and structural limits.
Help define and verify performance requirements and mission level objectives.
Support flight testing as required.
Review, document, and tune existing control and navigation algorithms for attitude, position, and mission control.
Analyze control law performance under various flight conditions and refine parameters for improved stability and response.
Investigate and explain observed flight behaviors through theoretical and numerical analysis.
Support estimation and sensor fusion performance assessment (IMU, GPS, air data, magnetometer).
Collaborate with software and flight test teams to ensure accurate implementation and documentation of GNC logic.
Build and maintain a full understanding of the autopilot and flight control software architecture, including embedded systems, control laws, and aircraft level integration.
Interpret and document algorithmic flow and software and hardware interactions.
Collaborate with embedded engineers on the integration and calibration of control laws.
Implement or prototype algorithm changes and diagnostic tools in C/C++, Python, or MATLAB/Simulink as needed.
Interpret electrical wiring diagrams and avionics schematics to understand system interfaces and dependencies.
Support integration and troubleshooting of sensors, flight computers, and actuators.
Take part in hardware in the loop (HIL), software in the loop (SIL), and bench level testing to validate flight system behavior.
Produce and maintain technical documentation, including algorithm descriptions, test procedures, and performance reports.
Contribute to simulation model improvement and data processing workflows.
Mentor junior engineers on flight mechanics, stability, and control system design.

Qualifications

Required

B.S. or M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Avionics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Control Systems Engineering.
10+ years of experience in aerospace, UAV, or flight control engineering.
5+ years of hands on experience with flight data analysis and performance validation.
Strong history in flight mechanics, aerodynamics, stability and control, and aircraft performance analysis.
Demonstrated knowledge tuning or analyzing flight control and navigation algorithms.
Skilled in data analysis, simulation, and model correlation using real flight data.
Ability to turn flight observations into concrete control system improvements proven through flight test.
Familiarity with C/C++, Python, and MATLAB/Simulink for analysis, documentation, or prototyping.
Understanding of embedded systems, software development practices, and avionics interfaces (CAN, UART, TCP/UDP, serial).
Ability to interpret electrical schematics and support hardware and software integration.
Strong communication and documentation skills for multidisciplinary collaboration.
Ability to solve technical problems with little supervision.
Ability to travel as needed for flight tests.

Preferred

Aero database development from wind tunnel, CFD, or flight test data.
Stability and control derivative estimation.
System identification on flight test data using SIDPAC or CIFER.
Handling qualities or flying qualities analysis.
Experience with autopilot frameworks such as PX4, ArduPilot, or proprietary systems.
Exposure to hardware in the loop (HIL) environments and safety critical systems.
Knowledge of aerospace software certification standards such as DO-178C.
Hands on UAV flight testing and flight data post processing.
Familiarity with Ground Control Station (GCS) software or simulation environments.
