Flight Control Engineer

Stellenbeschreibung:

Join to apply for the Flight Control Engineer role at AVILUS .

Applications will only be accepted via our official website and must include the complete set of required application documents.

Description

Do you want to work on a New Class of Drones? 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, and 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.

You want to experience how your personal vision becomes reality? 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.
