Sr. Flight Control Systems CLAW Engineer
Company: Supernal
Location: Irvine
Posted on: May 14, 2022
Job Description:
Supernal is at the forefront of creating emerging mobility
solutions that will foster the development of human-centered
cities. We are designing a completely new electric vertical
take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft tailored to the mobility
needs of future cities. This allows passengers a seamless
intermodal journey that safely transports them to their final
destination. We fuse research in autonomy, robotics, aviation and
services to define a new category of mobility for the world's
communities. We believe in creative thinking and collaboration to
help build a better mobility experience for everyone, improving
people's ability to move - whether for work or play.What we do: The
Senior CLAW Engineer will be a member of the Flight Controls team
who will actively participate in designing and implementing the
algorithms for the aircraft. This role will be heavily involved in
the analysis of aircraft stability, defining the control
architecture, testing control law implementation and dynamics. The
Sr. Engineer will conduct testing both on a desktop simulation as
well as in the systems integration lab, and be involved in
certification aspects of applying ARP 4754A and DO-178C rules to
their control law design. The role will collaborate with
engineering teams throughout the business in the design and testing
of the control laws.What you can do:
- Design and implement flight control algorithms for a VTOL
aircraft with a novel configuration
- Proficiency in implementing classical and modern control
law
- Conduct trade studies between different design considerations
and control schemes.
- Define control system architecture, response types, etc. for an
aircraft that might change configuration between flight
regimes.
- Conduct stability and control related analyses in time and
frequency domain.
- Collaborate with the Systems engineering team to define
requirements related to the flight control system and system
safety.What you can contribute:
- B.S. in aerospace or relevant engineering field
- A minimum of 5-8 years of experience in flight control
algorithm design for rotary-wing and/or fixed-wing Fly-By-Wire
aircraft systems (an equivalent combination of education and
experience may be considered)
- Strong experience in analyzing flight dynamic modes
- Experience with actuator and motor control loops
- Experience with mixing and blending of control surface
commands
- Experience with flight testing
- Experience with sensor processing and Kalman filter design
- Experience with requirement definition
- Experience on aircraft with multiple different modes of flight,
including vertical lift
- Experience building control laws for remotely-controlled
aircraft could be beneficial
- Experience with system identification and optimization tools
(CIFER, CONDUIT)
- Experience in math model development of a physical system
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Proactive delivery of communication and follow up
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail

4761
- Expertise in MathWorks tools for control algorithm
development
- Familiarity with FAA part 23/25/27/29 or other certification
experience
- Familiarity with aircraft handling quality requirements
- Familiarity with DO-33You may also be able to contribute:
- M.S. or PhD preferred
