Storming Universe is looking for a Flight Controls & GNC Engineer to support the modelling, development, tuning, testing and flight-readiness of control systems for our fixed-wing unmanned aircraft.

The engineer will work across aircraft flight dynamics, control-law development, guidance, navigation, state estimation, simulation, autopilot tuning and flight-test analysis.

Key Responsibilities
- Develop mathematical models of fixed-wing aircraft.
- Develop longitudinal and lateral-directional state-space models.
- Analyse aircraft static and agile stability.
- Evaluate aircraft modes including short-period, phugoid, Dutch-roll, roll and spiral modes.
- Develop and tune flight-control laws for attitude, angular rate, airspeed, altitude, heading and navigation.
- Work with PID, state-space, LQR or other suitable control methods.
- Develop gain schedules for different airspeeds, altitudes, payloads, aircraft masses and centre-of-gravity conditions.
- Model actuator dynamics, delays, saturation and rate limits.
- Support state estimation, sensor fusion and navigation algorithms.




- Work with Kalman Filters and Extended Kalman Filters where required.
- Develop and validate aircraft simulations using MATLAB and Simulink.
- Perform Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
- Configure and tune PX4 or ArduPilot for fixed-wing aircraft.
- Analyse flight-controller and flight-test logs.
- Conduct system identification using simulation and flight-test data.
- Compare aircraft simulation results with actual flight behaviour and update the model accordingly.
- Support aircraft ground testing, taxi testing, first-flight preparation and progressive flight-envelope expansion.
- Work closely with avionics, mechanical, structural and flight-test engineers.
