## Description

## Job Overview

You will build and validate flight dynamics models for Helsing's aerial platforms. The work runs from first principles, through numerical simulation and test campaigns, to validation against flight-test data. These models feed directly into control law design, simulation environments and autonomy development, so their accuracy sets how quickly and safely new capabilities reach the air.

## Responsibilities

- Develop flight dynamics models for aerial platforms end to end, from model architecture and specification through to validation against flight-test data

- Specify and run numerical and experimental campaigns, and set the acceptance criteria that decide when a model is fit for use in simulation and control design

- Work with the control, aerodynamics and test teams so that models feed directly into control law design, simulation environments and autonomy development

- Attend and analyse flight tests, turning telemetry and anomalies into measurable gains in model fidelity

- Document and present model assumptions, limitations and validation results so that programme decisions rest on evidence

## Requirements

- Have built and validated flight dynamics models from first principles, and tested them against real flight or experimental data

- Bring a thorough grounding in aerodynamics, stability and control, and systems modelling, gained through an engineering degree or equivalent practice

- Work fluently in Matlab and Simulink

- Write clean, well-structured code in Matlab and at least one of Python, Rust, Java or modern C++

- Report findings clearly, in writing and in person, to technical and non-technical audiences

## Nice to Have

- Have applied system identification, control systems design or applied aerodynamics in a flight programme

- Have deployed dynamics models onto real-time test rigs, such as hardware-in-the-loop setups

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance

- Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)

- Social: regular company events and monthly social allowances

- Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregivers

- Family support: 5 days of paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to work
