Role OverviewLER TechForce is seeking a Flight Control Research Engineer to support our client in Ann Arbor, MI. You’ll develop flight control algorithms for lightweight electric aircraft and take your work from simulation and prototyping through wind tunnel evaluations and live flight testing.
What You Will Do
Design, develop, and validate flight control algorithms for tethered and untethered lightweight aircraft with electric propulsion. Provide hands-on engineering support during prototyping, wind tunnel evaluations, and live flight tests.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Strong research background and demonstrated flight control experience with both multirotor drones and fixed-wing aircraft. Experience with Model Predictive Control (MPC), sensor fusion, and Extended Kalman Filters (EKF).
Requirements
- Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a closely related field.
- Strong research background and demonstrated flight control experience with both multirotor drones and fixed-wing aircraft.
- Hands-on experience with embedded systems, including platforms such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino.
