Montreal, Canada (Onsite)

Visa:
Canadian citizen /PR

Position type: FTE

Job Description

Develop and improve both new and existing CLaws design as well as the corresponding assessment tools using Matlab and C++ programming

Support CLaws, autopilot, and navigation design development for R&D projects

Develop CLaws and systems requirements

Perform CLaws requirements validation and verification (V&V) for any CLaws updates and/or new CLaws designs

Verify and deliver the CLaws in accordance with the DO 178B standard and SAE ARP 4754

Design and develop pilot‑in‑the‑loop CLaws based on handling quality requirements, flight and structural envelope protection requirements, performance requirements, test pilot assessments and aircraft‑level requirements

Evaluate CLaws and FBW system failures, system stability and performance with analytical methods, desktop simulations, pilot‑in‑the‑loop simulator tests and flight test data

Support integration of CLAWS into various test rigs and supplier hardware (e.g., integrate into PFCC for Collins, Thales, NRC, CMC, etc.)
