Head - Flight Mechanics & Control

Job Responsibilities :

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of flight mechanics andcontrol engineers

• Collaborate with other departments, such as aerodynamics,
  

structures, and systems engineering.

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring on-time and
  

on-budget delivery

• Set performance goals and provide regular feedback
• Manage the team's budget and resources
• Developing project plans, setting goals and milestones, and
  

allocating resources effectively.

• Assigning tasks to team members, monitoring progress, and
  

ensuring tasks are completed on time and within scope.

• Develop mathematical models for aircraft flight dynamics of
  

fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and hybrid platforms.

• Design and optimize flight control laws including autopilot control
  

laws and stability augmentation systems.

• Analyze and evaluate aircraft stability, controllability, and
  

aerodynamic performance under various conditions.

• Create high-fidelity simulations for the aircraft systems.
• Simulate mission scenarios to validate aircraft performance and
  

mission feasibility.

• Develop software-in-the-loop (SIL) test facilities.
• Design, build, and test of Systems Integration Labs for systems
  

integration, software, and hardware-in-the-loop testing of FlightControl, Avionics, Electrical, and Actuation Systems includingFly-By-Wire Flight Control Systems
