About the role
- The company focuses on high-performance aerospace systems, secure engineering solutions, and the development of complex hardware built for demanding operational environments.
- Tiberius is scaling quickly and is looking for engineers who can operate with ownership, urgency, and technical discipline in a high-stakes environment.
- Analyze gun-launch transient dynamics including muzzle exit stability, setback loads, and bore-rider interactions with control surfaces.
Responsibilities
- Lead flight control system design including autopilot architecture, control law development, and gain scheduling from transonic through hypersonic flight regimes.
- Perform stability analysis using aerodynamic databases and define stability margin requirements for the Sceptre flight envelope.
- Develop and validate control laws in MATLAB and Simulink and define requirements for embedded flight software implementation.
- Lead control system performance verification covering closed-loop bandwidth, disturbance rejection margins, and robustness to aerodynamic uncertainty.
- Support wind tunnel test planning for control surface effectiveness measurement and dynamic derivative data acquisition.
- Lead GN&C autopilot technical content at milestone reviews and produce supporting technical documentation.
- Technical & Flight Mechanics, Stability Analysis & Control Law Design
- Develop and maintain linear analysis tools in order to assess stability margins, bandwidth, and control authority.
- Perform nonlinear simulation of the closed-loop flight control system in the 6-DOF trajectory simulation to evaluate autopilot robustness.
- Develop gain scheduling logic for the full flight envelope and validate gain set transitions across
Requirements
- Proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink for control law design, linear analysis, system identification and nonlinear simulation.
- Experience with stability analysis and robustness verification under model uncertainty.
