Responsibilities

Analyze air vehicle stability and control characteristics to ensure acceptable handling qualities in compliance with specifications

Apply control theory to the design of control laws that achieve desired characteristics for dynamic control response, gust or disturbance rejection, system failure robustness, and loads considerations

Develop and validate linear and nonlinear mathematical analysis and simulation models of air vehicle and subsystems using theory and test data, including wind tunnel and flight test

Support the design of new and modified rotorcraft configurations from a stability, control, and handling qualities perspective

Perform wind tunnel testing, pilot-in-the-loop flight simulation, hardware in the loop laboratory testing, and flight testing in support of vehicle design and analysis

Apply tools such as Matlab/Simulink and other modern and legacy programing languages in both Windows and Unix-based environments

Collaborate with test pilots and with engineers in other engineering disciplines such as aerodynamics, dynamics, avionics systems, structural design, and crew systems design, to optimize vehicle level characteristics

Occasional travel to support flight testing at off-site locations. These test sites could include cold weather sites, high altitude sites, or ships at sea
