Job description

Our client, a high profile organisation, urgently require an experienced Control Systems Engineer to join their team.


In order to be successful, you will have the following experience:

  • Experience in flight dynamics and control systems, specifically within the UAS or aerospace sector
  • Deep understanding of classical and modern control theory (LQR/LQC, Robust Control, Adaptive Control, or Model Predictive Control)
  • Specific experience in servo-loop tuning, jitter compensation, and LOS (Line of Sight) stabilization for gimbals or optical payloads
  • Expert-level proficiency in simulation and modelling tools, and experience with flight-test data analysis
  • SC Cleared


Within this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Develop high-precision control strategies for gimballed payloads and EO/IR sensors, ensuring stability for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) missions.
  • Design, implement, and tune advanced control algorithms for autonomous flight, from take-off to landing
  • Create high-fidelity 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) aircraft models to validate control performance against atmospheric disturbances and hardware latencies
  • Define and verify aircraft handling qualities and stability margins to meet stringent safety and performance specifications
  • Transition algorithms from simulation environments into flight-ready code, supporting ground-based HIL testing and live flight-test campaigns
  • Lead the control systems strategy in the UK and provide expert guidance to the wider engineering team on complex dynamical problems.


This represents an excellent opportunity to secure a permanent role within a dynamic and high profile organisation.
