Company OverviewDestinus is an aerospace technology company founded on the belief that, in the future, distance shouldn't matter at all. We are, therefore, building the near-space vehicle and the associated infrastructure. Moving at the border of Space, our hydrogen-powered cars are ten times faster than conventional aircraft, providing the just-in-time backbone for logistics, e-commerce, and supply chain companies who can't wait. We define a new class of fast: our mission is to bring instantly your stuff to the other part of the world – and we mean it literally.
TasksAn exciting opportunity to work as a Robotics & Control Engineer solutions in an aerospace technology company. You can lead a team of passionate GNC engineers and contribute to GNC design and development activities. Working with cross-functional teams, you will contribute to the research and development of guidance and navigation control systems and their deployment on final UAV products.
Define the Control Laws and Algorithm Architecture for the onboard automation systems, including the Flight Controls and Navigation Systems.Identify possible failure modes and define robust contingency Control Laws to maintain safe flight.Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including system engineers and mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, to plan, design, develop, and integrate GNC solutions into UAVs.Define and run computer simulations for the platforms (e.g., Matlab & Simulink).Manage Work Packages of a defined scope: actively drive the project work forward to achieve the agreed deliverables on time and within budget.Ensure the integration of the GNC algorithms with the embedded system and execute validation testing.RequirementsTo be considered for this role, you should have the following qualifications:
