Job Description:

Support control design and evaluation for Mach’s fixed-wing aircraft. You’ll own your piece of the aircraft design, implementation, and validation of flight-critical control laws—spanning takeoff to landing—delivering robust performance across the full envelope.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design control systems within defined architecture and requirements for fixed-wing vehicles
  • Design and implement control laws accounting for actuator limits, time delays, and sensor noise as part of the controls team
  • Participate in system identification and aerodynamic model development from wind-tunnel, CFD, and flight-test data
  • Execute verification & validation work: SIL/HIL campaigns, Monte Carlo, and flight-readiness criteria
  • communicate findings to the team and program leadership
  • Participate in flight-test planning and execution
  • analyze logs, tune controllers, and iterate safely and quickly
  • Learn from the controls team, carry your work through design/code reviews to meet roadmap goals and milestones

Requirements:

  • Bachelors in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics
  • 0-5 years designing, analyzing and fielding flight control systems for fixed-wing aircraft or high-performance UAVs, including flight test
  • Deep knowledge of flight dynamics, stability/controllability, and actuator/sensor modeling
  • Familiarity with modern C++ for embedded real-time implementations
  • strong MATLAB/Simulink/Python for modeling, ID, and analysis
  • Familiarity with verification workflows (SIL/HIL), requirements traceability, and safety reviews
  • Familiarity with modern software workflows (git, code review, issue tracking) and data/telemetry analysis

Nice to have:

  • Practical and/or academic experience with modern/MIMO control design (LQR, LQG, LTR), system ID techniques, adaptive control
  • Experience with energy-based control, autothrottle, sideslip/yaw coordination, and advanced control allocation for over-actuated systems
  • Experience integrating with PX4 and ROS 2
  • Exposure to DO-178C/DO-331/ARP4754A processes or equivalent rigor
  • Comfort optimizing for resource-constrained processors and hard real-time constraints (latency/jitter budgets, numerics)
What we offer:
  • Offers Equity
  • healthcare
  • dental and vision plans
  • retirement savings
  • paid time off
  • continuing education
  • training
  • career growth
