We are seeking a Vehicle Controls & Dynamics Engineer for our new Broomfield, Colorado office. The Controls & Vehicle Dynamics Engineer will develop and implement advanced control laws, stability augmentation, and dynamic modeling for air vehicles. You will ensure robust maneuvering, attitude control, and successful transition between flight phases.
Responsibilities:
Develop and implement flight control algorithms for both boost and ramjet phases
Analyze vehicle stability and dynamic behavior during boost, transition, and sustain
Build and validate linear/nonlinear models of vehicle dynamics
Integrate control laws with propulsion inputs and guidance requirements
Support simulation environment development (MATLAB/Simulink, Python)
Conduct hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations and software testing
Requirements
