Technical Expert - Flight Control Laws Engineer - Design, Development and Analysis – FBW (Fly-By-Wire), United Kingdom.
Our Aerospace Client are looking to hire a Senior Aircraft Flight Control Laws Engineer to work remotely in the United Kingdom. You must currently hold the right to live and work in the UK for this role.
Role:
In your role, you will
- Develop and improve both new and existing Control Laws design as well the corresponding assessment tools using Matlab and C++ programming.
- Support Control Laws, autopilot, and navigation design development for R&D projects.
- Develop Control Laws and systems requirements.
- Perform Control Laws requirements validation and verification (V&V) for any Control laws updates and/or new Control laws designs.
- Verify and deliver the Control Laws in accordance with the DO-178B standard and SAE ARP 4754.
- Design and develop pilot in the loop Control Laws based on handling quality requirements, flight and structural envelope protection requirements, performance requirements, test pilot assessments and aircraft level requirements.
- Evaluate Control Laws and FBW system failures, system stability and performance with analytical methods, desktop simulations, pilot in the loop simulator tests and flight test data.
- Support integration of Control Laws into various test rigs and supplier hardware (i.e. integrate into PFCC for Collins, Thales, NRC, CMC, etc).
