Sr. Flight Control Systems CLAW Engineer - Fremont, United States - Supernal, LLC

Description

Supernal is at the forefront of creating emerging mobility solutions that will foster the development of human-centered cities.

We are designing a completely new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft tailored to the mobility needs of future cities.

This allows passengers a seamless intermodal journey that safely transports them to their final destination.

We fuse research in autonomy, robotics, aviation and services to define a new category of mobility for the world's communities.

We believe in creative thinking and collaboration to help build a better mobility experience for everyone, improving people's ability to move – whether for work or play.

What we do:

The Senior CLAW Engineer will be a member of the Flight Controls team who will actively participate in designing and implementing the algorithms for the aircraft.

This role will be heavily involved in the analysis of aircraft stability, defining the control architecture, testing control law implementation and dynamics.

The Sr.

Engineer will conduct testing both on a desktop simulation as well as in the systems integration lab and will be involved in certification aspects of applying ARP 4754A and DO-178C rules to their control law design.

The role will collaborate with engineering teams throughout the business in the design and testing of the control laws.
Supernal provides an inviting open-space workplace designed to foster collaboration, which aligns with one of our core values. This position is required to work on-site 5 days a week.

What you can do:
Design and implement flight control algorithms for a VTOL aircraft with a novel configuration
Proficiency in implementing classical and modern control law
Conduct trade studies between different design considerations and control schemes.
Define control system architecture, response types, etc. for an aircraft that might change configuration between flight regimes.
Conduct stability and control related analyses in time and frequency domain.
Collaborate with the Systems engineering team to define requirements related to the flight control system and system safety
May require up to 10% of domestic and international travel

What you can contribute:
B.S. in aerospace or relevant engineering field required
A minimum of 5-8 years of experience in flight control algorithm design for rotary-wing and/or fixed-wing Fly-By-Wire aircraft systems (an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered)

Experience with actuator and motor control loops
Experience with mixing and blending of control surface commands
Experience with flight testing
Experience with sensor processing and Kalman filter design
Experience with requirement definition
Experience on aircraft with multiple different modes of flight, including vertical lift
Experience building control laws for unmanned aircraft could be beneficial
Experience with system identification and optimization tools (CIFER, CONDUIT)
Experience in math model development of a physical system
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Proactive delivery of communication and follow up
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
Must have the ability to independently prioritize and accomplish work within time constraints
