We debuted the full-scale, functional prototype of the ASKA™ A5 at CES Las Vegas January 5-8th, 2023.

## Tasks

This position will require you to do design, development, analysis and testing of flight control for the ASKA™ A5 drive and fly vehicle. You'll work in all areas of the system development cycle including detail design, integration, flight testing and certification efforts.

ON THE JOB:

*   Develop flight control and navigation algorithms including linear analysis and non-linear analysis, develop design and analysis tools, and conduct mathematical modeling
*   Develop mathematical modeling and six-DOF simulation of flight vehicle dynamics
*   Perform navigation and control system analysis and optimization, perform simulation development and validation
*   Execute flight data analysis, develop documentation of all facets of work performed, develop flight test plans, and provide flight test support
*   Troubleshoot navigation and flight control anomalies via flight data analysis, correlation with flight software operation and generating corrective actions
*   Deep knowledge of flight control and navigation sensor systems, and perform analysis in connection with these systems
*   Create and review Certification Plans, Qualification Test Procedures and Qualification Test Reports
*   Review qualification by similarity and/or analysis reports
*   Review system safety documents (PSSA, SFHA, AFHA, SSA and Particular Risk Analysis)
*   Create, review and approve ground test procedures, flight test procedures and their corresponding test reports.

FLIGHT TESTING:

*   Determine test specification definition
*   Discuss, write and review test plans and preparation activities with the engineering team
*   Prepare and review pre- and post-flight briefings
*   Monitor live flight data, typically via telemetry, during flight test on aircraft
*   Identify non-conformities, quality escapes, etc. to create rejection tags
*   Make assessments to ensure safety of flight determination
*   Write flight test results reports.

FLIGHT SCIENCES:

*   Expertise in area of stability & control and aircraft handling characteristics
*   Support, plan, execute and analyze Wind Tunnel Activities.

## Requirements

*   Minimum 5 years of work experience as a Flight Control Engineer
*   Proficient in software such as C++, MATLAB, Python
*   Hands-on experience applying classical and modern control theory to an autonomous system
*   Extensive knowledge of aircraft flight testing
*   High proficiency in aerodynamics, aircraft performance and flight controls
*   Proficiency in 3D cut software, Solidworks and Siemens NX
*   Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
*   Extensive experience with AI integration into Flight Control.

**Please note before applying**

*   We are not offering relocation.
*   Candidates must have an existing visa and be legally authorized to live and work in the United States.
*   Will consider a visa transfer for the right non-US candidate who is currently living and working in the U.S.
