Software Control Engineer

Control Software Engineer - North-East Switzerland (On-site)

About the Role

Join an advanced Swiss engineering team developing model-based flight control and embedded software for autonomous aviation systems. You’ll work where simulation meets embedded firmware, running SIL/HIL tests and enabling safe autonomous functionality.

Why Apply?

• End-to-end ownership: from model design to embedded firmware validation.
• Modern SIL/HIL simulation frameworks and structured flight test integration.
• Close collaboration with embedded, avionics, and systems engineers.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and test model-based control software (e.g., Simulink/Matlab).
• Integrate models into embedded targets (C/C++ firmware, RTOS desirable).
• Develop and run SIL/HIL test campaigns; document results clearly.
• Create technical documentation and training materials.
• Troubleshoot sensors and embedded I/O during bring-up and integration.
• Stay updated on regulations and sensor technology for continuous improvement.

Profile

• BSc (MSc preferred) in Aerospace, Computer Science, Controls, or related.
• 3+ years in model-based software development.
• Hands-on with simulation (SIL/HIL) and embedded integration.
• Good knowledge of flight dynamics & control theory.
• Fluent English (German an advantage).
• Swiss/EU work rights required.

Offer

• Permanent, 100% on-site role in Zurich / North-East Switzerland.
• Competitive package, international travel up to ~25%. (Once a quarter roughly)
• Industry-leading projects in autonomy and embedded flight control.
