Control System Engineer

Senior / Principal Control Systems Engineer – UAS Flight Control & Precision Pointing

UK | SC Clearance Required

We are seeking an experienced Control Systems Engineer to lead the development of advanced flight control laws and precision pointing algorithms for next-generation UAS platforms. This role goes beyond PID tuning—you will architect robust, high-performance control strategies for demanding, high-dynamic missions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement advanced flight control laws (LQR/LQG, Robust, Adaptive, MPC) for autonomous flight from take-off to landing.
• Develop high-precision sensor pointing and gimbal stabilisation algorithms for EO/IR ISR payloads.
• Build and validate high-fidelity 6-DOF aircraft models, accounting for disturbances, latency, and structural dynamics.
• Define handling qualities, stability margins, and safety envelopes.
• Transition algor...
