Flight Control Engineer (Modelling and System Identification) (m/f/d)
Summary
Develop and implement aircraft flight dynamics and subsystem models (aerodynamics, propulsion, actuators) across Desktop, Hardware-in-the-Loop, and Aircraft-in-the-Loop simulation environments. Use system identification methods to tune, verify, and validate models using flight test data, and support flight control algorithm development.
