Control Law Systems Engineer II

The Flight Sciences division is responsible for the development and certification of Gulfstream Flight Control Laws and Automated Guidance Systems—complex, safety-critical systems that require rigorous validation and verification to ensure performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

We are seeking a Control Law Systems Engineer focused on Validation & Verification (V&V) to join our Flight Dynamics team in Savannah, GA. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring control law system requirements are correct, complete, and properly verified in accordance with SAE ARP
4754A processes.

You will work across a highly cross-functional environment, partnering with Systems Engineering, Flight Controls, Software, Test, Flight Operations, and external stakeholders to validate requirements, define verification strategies, and support certification activities, including FAA audits.

• Author, review, and validate control law system-level requirements in IBM DOORS
• Ensure complete requirements traceability (aircraft → system → software)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure requirements are clear, testable, and technically accurate
• Develop and execute verification strategies using multiple methods:
• Test bench (flight control computer / unit-level testing)
• Linear and nonlinear analysis
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and integrated “ironbird” testing
• Design and execute test procedures and verification cases
• Participate in system integration, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis
• Identify gaps in requirements, test cases, or procedures and drive corrective actions
• Generate verification reports, analysis reports, and certification artifacts
• Support FAA certification activities and System Design Reviews (SDR), including:
• Audit preparation and execution
• Demonstrating compliance to ARP
  4754A processes
• Disposition of verification or process deviations
• Contribute to continuous improvement of V&V processes, tools, and methodologies

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 18 months of related Engineering experience. Experience credit will be considered for related advance degrees limited to 2 years for Master's and 4 years for PhD in a field applicable to the job position.
• Experience in requirements-based development, validation, and verification
• Hands‑on experience with IBM DOORS (or equivalent requirements tools)
• Experience writing or executing test plans, procedures, and reports
• Familiarity with system integration and verification environments
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in cross‑functional teams
• Excellent technical communication skills

• Experience with flight control systems or control law architectures
• Familiarity with SAE ARP
  4754A development processes
• Knowledge of DO-178C and DO-331
• Experience with hardware‑in‑the‑loop or system integration labs (ironbird)
• Background in linear or nonlinear system analysis
• Experience supporting FAA certification efforts or audits
• Familiarity with Matlab/Simulink for analysis or verification support
• Experience troubleshooting verification discrepancies and implementing fixes

• Strong ownership mindset over requirements quality and verification completeness
• Ability to identify gaps or inconsistencies and proactively implement solutions
• Comfort working in structured, certification‑driven engineering environments
• Attention to detail combined with big‑picture system awareness
