Flight Control Engineer

Description

Do you want to work on a New Class of Unmanned Aircraft? Our product universe spans three different platforms with maximum take-off weights of up to 1000 kg and characteristic dimensions of 8 m: The hexacopter Grille for medical evacuation, the multi-role rotorcraft Wespe for logistics and support operations, as well as the fixed-wing drone Bussard for surveillance and intelligence missions. All systems are powered by RasCore, our highly redundant, military-grade avionics system for safe operations within EASA’s Specific Category. Three aircraft, one mission: to bridge the gap between small UAVs and traditional manned systems.

Do you want to experience your vision coming to life? Your controller is not only a prototype function – it will actually be flying. Within a short time, after design, implementation, as well as MiL- and HiL-testing, your flight control software is handed over to the flight operations team, where you will see how your lines of code come alive on a real aircraft and govern the fate of our rescue mission.
