Job Description:

Lead the development of precision pointing algorithms and flight control laws for UAS platforms and payloads. You will be the technical architect for control strategies, moving beyond simple PID loops to implement robust, high-performance control laws capable of operating in demanding environments and high-dynamic maneuvers.

Job Responsibility:

  • Develop high-precision control strategies for gimballed payloads and EO/IR sensors, ensuring stability for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) missions
  • Design, implement, and tune advanced control algorithms for autonomous flight, from take-off to landing
  • Create high-fidelity 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) aircraft models to validate control performance against atmospheric disturbances and hardware latencies
  • Define and verify aircraft handling qualities and stability margins to meet stringent safety and performance specifications
  • Transition algorithms from simulation environments into flight-ready code, supporting ground-based HIL testing and live flight-test campaigns
  • Lead the control systems strategy in the UK and provide expert guidance to the wider engineering team on complex dynamical problems

Requirements:

  • 8+ years (Senior) or 12+ years (Principal) of experience in flight dynamics and control systems, specifically within the UAS or aerospace sector
  • Deep understanding of classical and modern control theory (LQR/LQC, Robust Control, Adaptive Control, or Model Predictive Control)
  • Specific experience in servo-loop tuning, jitter compensation, and LOS (Line of Sight) stabilization for gimbals or optical payloads
  • Expert-level proficiency in simulation and modelling tools, and experience with flight-test data analysis
  • Degree in Control Theory, Aerospace Engineering, or Robotics
  • Must be a UK national eligible for SC Clearance
  • A strong theoretical background in linear and non-linear dynamics
  • The ability to look beyond the simulation and understand the "real world" constraints of actuators, sensors, and structural flex
  • A rigorous approach to verification and validation (V&V), ensuring control laws are robust against sensor failures or degraded modes
  • A proactive desire to embrace new processes and drive continuous improvement in engineering methods
  • Comfortable leading in a fast-paced development environment where requirements and threats can evolve rapidly
What we offer:
  • An excellent work environment and an opportunity to make a difference
  • Salary Compatible with the level of proven experience
