30009529-7ed Staff Engineer, Flight Control - X-BAT In this role, you will contribute to the flight control system for XBAT, with responsibility for delivering stable, predictable, and operationally robust performance across all phases of flight.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Design and implement flight control laws and supporting logic across multiple flight regimes.
  • Build and mature high-fidelity 6DOF simulation environments used for control development and ensure accurate pre-flight performance predictions.
  • Execute verification activities, including linear analysis, Monte Carlo campaigns, disturbance/sensitivity/degraded operation testing, and HIL validation.
  • Diagnose and resolve simulation-to-test mismatches, including unidentified dynamics and modeling gaps.
  • Support flight test operations and contribute to rapid iteration between flights.
  • Work closely with propulsion, aero, actuation, sensors, state estimation, and autonomy teams to ensure accurate integrated system performance in the 6DOF simulation environment.
  • Mentor, teach, and up-skill younger engineers.

Required qualifications include 6+ years of experience in flight controls/GNC on real flight vehicles, with demonstrated contributions from design through test.

Preferred qualifications include autonomous systems or missile/UAV GNC background, familiarity with sensor and air data systems, CI/CD pipelines, and modern DevSecOps practices.
