Destinus is an aerospace technology company founded on the belief that, in the future, distance shouldn't matter at all. We are, therefore, building the near-space vehicle and the associated infrastructure. Moving at the border of Space, our hydrogen-powered cars are ten times faster than conventional aircraft, providing the just-in-time backbone for logistics, e-commerce, and supply chain companies who can't wait. We define a new class of fast{{:}} our mission is to bring instantly your stuff to the other part of the world - and we mean it literally.

You will take a senior Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineer role, contributing in a hands on way while also looking at potential improvement from a more high-level perspective. Your team will consist of people coming from different domains, joining forces to deliver efficient and accurate UAV platforms.

Define the Control Laws and Algorithm Architecture for the onboard automation systems, including the Flight Controls and Navigation Systems.

• Identifying possible failure modes and defining robust contingency Control Laws to maintain safe flight
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including system engineers and mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, to plan, design, develop, and integrate GNC solutions into UAVs
• Defining and running computer simulations for the platforms. (e.g., Matlab & Simulink)
• Work Package Management of a defined scope{{:}} actively driving the project work forward to achieve the agreed deliverables on time and within budget
• Ensuring the integration of the GNC algorithms with the embedded system and executing validation testing
  
  

• At least Bachelor's degree in relevant field, such as{{:}} GNC Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering
• 3+ years of industry experience in GNC
• Experience in non-linear feedback control system design
• Experience in C development for embedded systems done hands on, not via code generation
• Experience with modern tools, like version control systems
• Good communication skills
