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
Ability to travel 10% of the time (Note: This typically requires a Driver’s License)
Qualification
Required
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
