About Alteon
The Wright Brothers gave humanity flight, Alteon exists to give humanity (almost) perpetual flight. Our mission is to build the world’s highest endurance aircrafts – ones that can fly for up to ~417 days at a time.
We are a small, young team driven by pushing the limits of what’s possible – we don’t like settling for good enough. We are here to build the best technology possible, the best airplane possible, to do the best engineering possible. Limited only by the laws of physics.
About the role
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated engineer to join our team to implement and analyze a dynamic soaring algorithm for autonomous fixed-wing UAV platforms. Dynamic soaring is an advanced flight technique that extracts energy from the wind. The successful candidate will be responsible for translating the algorithm into a high-fidelity MATLAB Simulink environment, validating its performance across the full envelope of weather and wind conditions, and supporting flight-test integration on physical UAV hardware.
This role sits at the intersection of flight dynamics,



control systems, atmospheric physics, and embedded systems engineering — ideal for someone who enjoys taking an algorithm from theory to simulation to airborne hardware.
Key responsibilities
Implement the energetic soaring algorithm in MATLAB / Simulink, integrating it with a full 6-DOF nonlinear aircraft model.
Develop and validate aerodynamic, propulsion, mass-properties, and environmental sub-models, including stochastic wind-shear, gust, and turbulence models (e.g., Dryden, von Kármán).
Analyze algorithm performance and robustness across a wide range of weather and wind conditions — varying wind gradient profiles, turbulence intensities, ridge/shear/thermal soaring regimes, and edge-case atmospheric phenomena.
Design, tune, and benchmark guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms that support the dynamic soaring trajectory (energy management, periodic orbit tracking, optimal cycle plan
