**Job title:** Control & Automation Engineer – Aeronautics (F/M)
**Role Summary:** Design, model, simulate, and validate control laws to ensure stability, maneuverability, and safety of an aircraft. Works across aerodynamics, mechanics, and avionics from digital modeling to real‑world testing, integrating control strategies with hardware‑in‑the‑loop and real‑time simulation.
**Expectations:**
- 3+ years in dynamic modeling and control synthesis for aeronautical or embedded systems.
- Proven experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape, and real‑time simulation tools (e.g., Speedgoat).
- Strong grasp of multi‑axis control concepts (PID, LQR, observers, gain scheduling).
- Ability to interface with mechanical, aerodynamic, and avionics teams and translate requirements into functional specifications.
- Proficiency in English (technical level).
**Key Responsibilities:**
- Build a full 6‑DOF aircraft dynamic model in MATLAB/Simulink using aerodynamic data.
- Simulate pitch, roll, and yaw responses to assess static and dynamic stability margins.
- Identify and design control laws that guarantee stable, predictable flight.
- Collaborate with aerodynamicists to refine geometry (flap, dihedral, lever arm) before finalization.
- Size electromechanical actuators (EMAs) from dynamic equations; specify torque, speed, bandwidth.
- Select, tune, and validate control strategies (PID, LQR, gain scheduling) for various missions.
- Define control architecture (centralized vs. distributed), bus topology, and sensor integration (CANopen, RS‑485, Ethernet).
- Specify sampling rates, data rates, and ensure coherence across avionics subsystems.
- Conduct real‑time simulations on hardware (Speedgoat, MATLAB Real‑Time) and virtual flight tests (trim, steady‑state, transitions).
- Identify and correct discrepancies before flight testing to optimize tuning.
- Participate in project meetings and contribute to overall system performance validation.
**Required Skills:**
- MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape (modeling & simulation).
- Control theory (PID, LQR, observers, multi‑axis regulation).
- Hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) and real‑time simulation expertise.
- Bus architectures and communication protocols (CAN, ARINC, Ethernet TSN).
- Avionics integration and validation processes.
- Documentation, scientific rigor, analytical thinking.
- Technical English proficiency.
**Required Education & Certifications:**
- Bachelor’s +5 years (Master’s) in Automation, Aeronautics, Mechatronics, or related field.
- Relevant certifications in control engineering or avionics preferred (e.g., ICAO, FAA, or equivalent).
