Research Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Flight Control Research Engineer.

In this role, you will play a critical part in the research and development of next-generation flying mobility solutions.

You will focus on designing advanced flight control algorithms, running complex simulations
, and taking your work from the lab through prototyping, wind tunnel evaluations, and real-world flight testing.

• Design, develop, and validate robust flight control algorithms for tethered and untethered lightweight flying mobility vehicles equipped with electric propulsion systems
  .
• Improve, optimize, and maintain multi-body simulation models to ensure accurate performance predictions.
• Provide hands‑on engineering support during wind tunnel evaluations and live flight tests
  , analyzing data to iterate on designs.
• Support the development, testing, and integration of sensor systems.

• Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a closely related field (a Master's degree with significant relevant experience will also be considered).
• Strong research background and proven experience in flight control systems for both multi‑rotor drones and fixed‑wing aircraft.
• Practical experience working with embedded systems and microcontrollers (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Arduino).

• Experience with Model Predictive Control (MPC), sensor fusion, and Extended Kalman Filters (EKF
  ).
• Hands-on experience in the end-to-end development, building, and piloting of RC airplanes and custom drones.
