Description
You will contribute to the flight control system for XBAT, with responsibility for delivering stable, predictable, and operationally robust performance across all phases of flight.
Design and implement flight control laws and supporting logic across multiple flight regimes. Build and mature high-fidelity 6DOF simulation environments used for control development and ensure accurate pre-flight performance predictions. Execute verification activities, including linear analysis, Monte Carlo campaigns, disturbance/sensitivity/degraded operation testing, and HIL validation. Diagnose and resolve simulation-to-test mismatches, including unidentified dynamics and modeling gaps. Support flight test operations and contribute to rapid iteration between flights. Work closely with propulsion, aero, actuation, sensors, state estimation, and autonomy teams to ensure accurate integrated system performance in the 6DOF simulation environment.
