ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking an experienced Flight Quality & Simulation (FQS) Engineer to support the development, integration, verification, and validation of aircraft flight dynamics and simulation models. The role requires strong technical expertise in aircraft 6-DOF modelling, MATLAB/Simulink, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, and real-time simulation. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and assessment of high-fidelity aircraft models, flight-quality evaluations, and simulation environments supporting advanced aerospace and mission systems projects. The ideal candidate will have practical experience developing and modifying nonlinear aircraft dynamic models, conducting flight dynamics analysis, and integrating models into real-time simulation environments.
