About the role
Must have:
- Flight Control Laws (CLaws) development experience for FBW aircraft - Strong expertise in aircraft flight dynamics, aerodynamics, and handling qualities - Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and C++ programming - Experience with control systems design (Classical, Modern, SISO/MIMO) and V&V activities - Knowledge of DO-178B, SAE ARP4754, and aerospace software certification standards
What are your contributions to the team? • Develop and improve both new and existing CLaws design as well the corresponding assessment tools using Matlab and C++ programming • Support CLaws, autopilot, and navigation design development for R&D projects • Develop CLaws and systems requirements • Perform CLaws requirements validation and verification (V&V) for any Claws updates and/or new Claws designs • Verify and deliver the CLaws in accordance with the DO‑178B standard and SAE ARP 4754 • Design and develop pilot in the loop CLaws based on handling quality requirements, flight and structural envelope protection requirements, performance requirements, test pilot assessments and aircraft level requirements • Evaluate CLaws 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 CLAWS into various test rigs and supplier hardware (i.e. integrate into PFCC for Collins, Thales, NRC, CMC, etc)
How to thrive in this role? • You hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, PhD degree is preferred in Aerospace Engineering • You must have a minimum of 10 years of pertinent experience in the development of Flight Control Laws for FBW (Fly‑By‑Wire) aircraft • You must be versed in aircraft flight dynamics with an in depth understanding of aerodynamics • You must be versed in "classical" and “modern” control systems design techniques for SISO and MIMO systems and be familiar with advanced control laws techniques and methods • You must have good understanding of control law evaluation techniques, linear and non‑linear and testing procedures • You must have a good understanding of aircraft stability, handling qualities, and control with a pilot‑in‑the‑loop • You should have a good understanding of DO‑178B standards, system requirements verification and validation methods and certification of complex software • You must be proficient in using Matlab and Simulink as a simulation, aircraft/system modeling and control law development tool • You should possess a good understanding of state estimation or Kalman filtering • You should be proficient in programming Matlab scripts and C++ programming • You must be fluent in written and spoken French and English • You must be a team player with an innovative spirit, motivated and be able to work independently
