Lead Flight Control Engineer - Tactical Munitions at Kela Technologies · Trevo
As a Lead Flight Control Engineer - Tactical Munitions, you will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and maintaining the flight control and guidance algorithms that power our innovative solutions. Specifically, you will be a key driver on a new electrical tactical munition project. Working closely with the system, hardware, and vision teams, you will guide the platform's flight dynamics from early R&D phases through to field-proven maturity, ensuring it is highly maneuverable and pinpoint accurate.
What you'll do
Drive the design, simulation, and implementation of advanced flight control algorithms for a high-dynamic, tube-launched platform flying at 100m/s.
Develop and maintain 6-DOF mathematical models of the system's flight dynamics and aerodynamic responses through rapid iterations.
Integrate flight control loops with the electro-optical computer vision system to enable a seamless "Fire-and-Forget" terminal homing phase.
Deploy, configure, and tune control laws using Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulations prior to live testing.
