- Testing & Validation: Lead Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and Iron Bird development to verify systems against rigorous requirements.
- Field Operations: Support live flight testing, perform real-time data analysis, and handle on-site repairs or diagnostics.
- Leadership: Act as a technical mentor to guide junior engineers through the full design and testing lifecycle.
- Advanced Navigation: Develop GNSS-denied resilient guidance using A-PNT sensor sources.
Skills & Experience Indispensable
- Software Tools: Expert proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
- UAS Expertise: Hands‑on experience with Autopilot/Flight Management System integration and vehicle data interfaces like CAN bus or Ethernet.
- Safety & Analysis: Significant experience in Failure Modes Effect Analysis (FMEA) and redundancy implementation.
- System Design: Ability to define complex unmanned architectures from first principles.
Required
- Security Clearance: Must hold (or be able to obtain) UK SC security clearance.
- Travel: A valid passport and the ability to travel internationally for systems testing.
- Embedded Coding: Proficient in C/C++ for APIs and embedded applications.
- Flight Tuning: Experience with experimental flight testing and system identification methodologies.
