We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Flight Control Law Engineering Intern at Reliable Robotics, you will work alongside a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aviation, space, robotics and self-driving cars to support our autonomous flight systems. You will contribute to the design, implementation, integration, and test flight control laws for all phases of operation including autotaxi, auto-takeoff, autoland, and automatic rollout.

Responsibilities

Design, analyze and implement ground and flight control laws for gate-to-gate aircraft operation
Develop and refine simulation models required for control system verification
Perform linear analysis of control laws to evaluate stability, robustness, and performance
Integrate and verify control system features in software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop test environments
Develop flight test plans and conduct post-test data review
