Job description: Software Engineer, Controls and Autonomy
Using both industry standard and out of the box approaches you will use a piloted sUAS flight dynamics database and appropriate techniques to define a unique control algorithm applicable to Jetoptera's products. These aircraft control techniques will include maneuverability, attitude control and change techniques, sensor integration and feedback, telemetry and backup algorithms necessary to VTOL, hover, deliver packages, etc., with the aircraft experiencing various scenarios, missions and situations in full autonomous flight. The parameters used in designing the control system of the aircraft will include throttle of the propulsion system, its vectoring, as well as more conventional control surfaces, trimming etc. MATLAB or similar experience and proof of robotics skills required.
Demonstrated aerospace engineering and controls experience is highly desired, including flight dynamics control and hands on experience with aircraft models as well as autonomy and sensor based design.
