Flight Control Systems Engineer

As a Flight Control Systems Engineer, you will develop and refine flight control algorithms, run simulations, and validate control laws to support certification, scale manufacturing, and initial commercial service. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including Verification, Modeling, Aircraft, and Software to ensure robust performance and compliance through test planning, data analysis, and artifact management. You'll contribute to mission planning, envelope expansion testing, and flight-test support, shaping handling characteristics and system behavior. This role offers hands-on impact in a high-performance, safety-critical environment with cutting-edge urban air mobility tech.
