[Hiring] Flight Control Engineer @Sapsol Technologies Inc

Role Description

The role involves the development and improvement of Flight Control Laws (CLaws) for Fly-By-Wire (FBW) aircraft, along with the corresponding assessment tools using MATLAB and C++ programming.

• Develop and improve both new and existing CLaws design as well as 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)

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering; PhD degree preferred
• Minimum of 10 years of pertinent experience in the development of Flight Control Laws for FBW (Fly‑By‑Wire) aircraft
• In-depth understanding of aircraft flight dynamics and aerodynamics
• Familiarity with "classical" and “modern” control systems design techniques for SISO and MIMO systems
• Good understanding of control law evaluation techniques, linear and non‑linear testing procedures
• Good understanding of aircraft stability, handling qualities, and control with a pilot‑in‑the‑loop
• Understanding of DO‑178B standards, system requirements verification and validation methods, and certification of complex software
• Proficiency in using Matlab and Simulink for simulation, aircraft/system modeling, and control law development
• Good understanding of state estimation or Kalman filtering
• Proficiency in programming Matlab scripts and C++ programming
• Fluency in written and spoken French and English
• Team player with an innovative spirit, motivated, and able to work independently

Requirements

• 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
