Head - Flight Mechanics & Control

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of flight mechanics and
control engineers
● Collaborate with other departments, such as aerodynamics,
structures, and systems engineering.
● Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring on-time and
on-budget delivery
● Set performance goals and provide regular feedback
● Manage the team's budget and resources
● Developing project plans, setting goals and milestones, and
allocating resources effectively.
● Assigning tasks to team members, monitoring progress, and
ensuring tasks are completed on time and within scope.
● Develop mathematical models for aircraft flight dynamics of
fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and hybrid platforms.
● Design and optimize flight control laws including autopilot control
laws and stability augmentation systems.
● Analyze and evaluate aircraft stability, controllability, and
aerodynamic performance under various conditions.
● Create high-fidelity simulations for the aircraft systems.
● Simulate mission scenarios to validate aircraft performance and
mission feasibility.
● Develop software-in-the-loop (SIL) test facilities.
● Design, build, and test of Systems Integration Labs for systems
integration, software, and hardware-in-the-loop testing of Flight
