Flight Control Law Engineer (m/f/d)

As a Flight Control Law Engineer, you will play a key role in our mission aircraft team and support the development and validation of flight control laws across the full aircraft flight envelope. As part of Quantum Systems’ aircraft division, you’ll contribute to one of the most exciting German aviation projects of the years to come.

Working closely with the team around our aircraft activities, your role can span across multiple disciplines — from hands‑on technical work to system‑level responsibility.

Our focus is on getting large airborne platforms into the air and ready for real operational use.

What is your Day to Day Mission

•

Design, implement, and validate flight control algorithms for fixed-wing aircraft in MATLAB / Simulink
