Control Systems Engineer

7 Days Old

Our client, a high profile organisation, urgently require an experienced Control Systems Engineer to join their team.

In order to be successful, you will have the following experience:

Experience in flight dynamics and control systems, specifically within the UAS or aerospace sector
Deep understanding of classical and modern control theory (LQR/LQC, Robust Control, Adaptive Control, or Model Predictive Control)
Specific experience in servo-loop tuning, jitter compensation, and LOS (Line of Sight) stabilization for gimbals or optical payloads
Expert-level proficiency in simulation and modelling tools, and experience with flight-test data analysis
SC Cleared

Within this role, you will be responsible for:

Develop high-precision control strategies for gimballed payloads and EO/IR sensors, ensuring stability for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) missions.
Design, implement, and tune advanced control algorithms for autonomous flight, from take-off to landing
Create high-fidelity 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) aircraft models to validate control performance against atmospheric disturbances and hardware latencies
Define and verify aircraft handling qualities and stability margins to meet stringent safety and performance specifications
Transition algorithms from simulation environments into flight-ready code, supporting ground-based HIL testing and live flight-test campaigns
Lead the control systems strategy in the UK and provide expert guidance to the wider engineering team on complex dynamical problems.

This represents an excellent opportunity to secure a permanent role within a dynamic and high profile organisation.
