Job Description & How to Apply Below
I'm supporting a cutting-edge aerospace program and am looking to speak with experienced Flight Control Systems Engineers who enjoy working in fast-paced development and test environments.
This is an opportunity to support the development of a next-generation fly-by-wire aircraft programme, focusing on system integration, verification, validation, and test activities rather than control law design.
What You'll Be Doing- Supporting flight control system integration and verification activities
- Working within Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and systems integration test environments
- Executing test procedures, troubleshooting issues, and driving root-cause investigations
- Collaborating with avionics, software, systems, and test engineering teams
- Supporting aircraft-level integration and test campaigns
Contributing across both lab and flight test environments
- 10+ years of aerospace engineering experience preferred
- Strong background in Flight Control Systems integration, verification, or testing
- Experience with fly-by-wire aircraft
- OEM aircraft experience strongly preferred
- Hands-on exposure to HIL, Integration Test Facilities (ITF), or similar environments
- Ability to operate effectively within a fast-moving development programme
- Comfortable balancing engineering rigor with the realities of experimental aircraft development
- Initial onboarding period will require significant onsite presence
- Long-term expectation is approximately 50%+ onsite
- Occasional travel may be required to support aircraft testing activities
- Multiple positions expected to be hired over the coming months
