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

UK | SC Clearance Required

Making sure you fit the guidelines as an applicant for this role is essential, please read the below carefully.

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 distu...
