Team Lead GNC

Destinus is an aerospace technology company founded under 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 vehicles are ten times faster than conventional aircrafts, 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 at the other part of the world – and we mean it literally.

Tasks

An exciting opportunity to work as a team lead GNC solutions in an aerospace technology company. You will have the opportunity to lead a team of passionate GNC engineers and to contribute yourself in GNC design and development activities. Working with cross-functional teams, you will contribute to Research and Development of guidance and navigation control system then on their deployment on final UAV products.

Define the Control Laws and Algorithm Architecture for the on-board automation systems including Flight Controls System, Navigation System.

• Identifying possible failure modes and defining robust contingency Control Laws to maintain safe flight

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, system engineers, mechanical, electrical, software, to plan, design, develop and integrate GNC solutions into UAV.

• Defining and running computer simulations for the platforms. (e.g. Matlab & Simulink).
