Salary :

SyberJet is an up-and-coming aircraft manufacturer dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation and precision in the design and manufacturing of advanced aerospace systems and aircraft. Our team is committed to excellence, creativity, and continuous improvement in all aspects of our work.

Job Description

We are seeking aSimulation & Flight Controls Engineerto develop high-fidelity aircraft simulation environments, fly-by-wire flight control systems, aircraft stability models, and advanced autopilot control algorithms. This engineer will be responsible for full-aircraft plant modeling and real-time control system development supporting system architecture decisions, safety-critical performance validation, and certification activities.

The ideal candidate has strong technical expertise in aircraft control theory, flight dynamics modeling, and simulation-based development, with an interest in next-generation automation and intelligent avionics systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and tunefly-by-wire flight control algorithms, including stability augmentation, autopilot control modes, outer-loop guidance, and envelope protection.
• Buildaircraft stability and handling-qualities models, including nonlinear 6-DOF physics-based flight dynamics and environmental effects.
• Design and validateautopilot flight modessuch as takeoff, climb, cruise, approach, landing, and emergency reversion.
• Createhigh-fidelity aircraft plant modelsand digital twin simulations for propulsion, flight controls, power distribution, hydraulics, and environmental systems.
• Performsoftware-in-the-loop (SIL),hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), andpilot-in-the-loopsimulations for verification and validation of control algorithms.
• Support Iron Bird and avionics rack simulation environments for integrated system test and evaluation.
• Conduct mission-level simulation and Monte-Carlo analysis for performance prediction, robustness, reliability, and certification support.
• Work collaboratively with software engineering teams to integrate simulation models with real-time embedded control software.
• Perform data correlation against flight test results to improve fidelity and refine control models.
• Generate technical documentation, validation reports, and certification artifacts aligned with DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A, ARP4761, and FAA handling-qualities standards.

Qualifications

Strong understanding ofcontrol theory, aircraft stability and control, guidance / navigation concepts, and real-time embedded controls.

Proficiency inMATLAB / Simulink, flight dynamics modeling tools, and real-time simulation environments.

Excellent analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
