About Aerospace Centre for Aeronautics and OTM
OTM design and manufacture world-class actuator solutions for, among others, the aerospace sector. The Centre for Aeronautics is one of the world’s largest centres for postgraduate education and research in aircraft design, aerodynamics, advanced modelling and simulation tools and methods.
You will lead the implementation of a flight control computer. You will also test practical flight control algorithms with simulation models and implement these into a modular flight control computer that complies with industry standards, as well as continue development of a hardware-in-the-loop system. This will involve design and development of flight control computer electronics and PCB design.
It is essential you have demonstrative understanding of control or avionics systems modelling, development or simulation, in particular experience of coding and algorithm development for control systems or mechatronic systems using software tools such as MATLAB/Simulink. This role would suit an individual with excellent software skills and the ability to code MATLAB/Simulink into embedded systems. The role will require the development of knowledge in control algorithm simulation and implementation to required industry standards.
You will have excellent project and time management skills, and the ability to work independently and to communicate complex information clearly. You will hold a Postgraduate degree (MEng/MSc) in aerospace engineering, control system, mechatronics or related subject. It will be advantageous if you have a PhD in one of these areas.
