Farnborough, Hampshire, United Kingdom Airbus Full time
We are seeking a skilled Guidance Navigation and Control Systems Engineer to join our team at Airbus. As a key member of our Flight Physics department, you will be responsible for the development of Zephyr Flight Control, Navigation & Automation Systems. Your primary focus will be on designing and documenting the GNC architecture, working closely with the Software and Avionics teams to implement this as on-board software. You will also support the planning of next software releases and contribute to the definition and improvement of design. Key Responsibilities:
  • Derive and manage requirements from all stakeholder needs or upper-level requirements, across the successive system decomposition levels.
  • Define the Control Laws and Algorithm Architecture for the on-board automation systems including Flight Controls System, Navigation System & Flight Sensor Management Systems.
  • Identifying possible failure modes and defining robust contingency Control Laws to maintain safe flight.
  • Write software requirements in compliance with quality criteria, avoiding over- and under- specification.
  • Manage specificities of interface & allocation requirements between the various on-board systems.
  • Verify that the sub-system, equipment and software requirements are correctly and completely implemented.
  • Verification and validation of Flight Physics models based on experimental and flight test data.
  • Liaising with other Flight Physics & Handling Qualities Subject Matter Experts within Airbus and wider teams.
  • Defining and running computer simulations for the platforms. (e.g. Matlab & Simulink).
  • Work Package Management of a defined scope: actively driving the project work forwards to achieve the agreed deliverables on time and to budget.
Essential Qualifications, Skills & Experience:
  • An Engineering degree with proven experience.
  • Experience with unmanned autonomous air systems.
  • Experience with closed-loop control systems and state-space foundations. Experience with Simulink or equivalent.
  • Experience with defining test vectors to demonstrate correct functionality of the algorithms under various use-cases (for example take-off, landing, cruise, manoeuvring, and descent) and their robustness to erroneous or unexpected inputs.
  • Demonstrable experience of taking a system technical requirement and evolving into a complete design solution.
  • Algorithm architecture and detailed design documentation writing skills.
Desirable Skills and Experience:
  • Airborne Master Software (Functional embedded C).
  • Knowledge of Aircraft Stability and Control Augmentation.
  • Experience with Automatic Flight Guidance and Control Systems (AFGCS) in certified aircraft.
  • Knowledge of Certification and Flight Control Clearance processes.
  • Knowledge of Python coding environment.
  • Knowledge of RTCA DO-178.
  • Understanding of Hardware interfaces (Complex Electronic Hardware, FPGAs).
