Skyryse
Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineer
Skyryse, El Segundo, California, United States, 90245
Skyryse is developing FlightOS, the world's first universal flight deck and operating system. FlightOS unlocks safer, more capable, and easier to fly aircraft (eVTOLs, helicopters, fixed-wings, etc.). Our mission at Skyryse is to make air transportation as safe as the elevator and as accessible as the car.
GUIDANCE, NAVIGATION AND CONTROL ENGINEER - EL SEGUNDO, CA
As a Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineer, you will help shape the technical direction for architecting and implementing all path planning, motion planning, and flight control algorithms on board our aircraft. You will play a critical role in developing the spatial technology that will impact the viability of our bold objective to make aviation safer and more accessible to all.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Assist with all Guidance, Navigation, and Control functions and analysis activities including dynamic trajectory planning and Flight Envelope Protection design
Support GNC design specifications generation, validation and verification activities
Generate documentation for design, analysis, specification and test procedures and results
Develop analysis tools and algorithm using a Matlab/Simulink environment
Support Hardware in the Loop (HIL) and flight test activities
Work in a collaborative manner with other engineering disciplines such as Perception, Safety, Certification and Systems, Flight Test and lines of business as appropriate
Perform other duties as assigned
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Controls, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering
3+ years of professional working experience
Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink
