Vehicles Controls & Dynamics Engineer

We are seeking a Vehicle Controls & Dynamics Engineer for our new Broomfield, Colorado office. The Controls & Vehicle Dynamics Engineer will develop and implement advanced control laws, stability augmentation, and dynamic modeling for air vehicles. You will ensure robust maneuvering, attitude control, and successful transition between flight phases.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement flight control algorithms for both boost and ramjet phases
• Analyze vehicle stability and dynamic behavior during boost, transition, and sustain
• Build and validate linear/nonlinear models of vehicle dynamics
• Integrate control laws with propulsion inputs and guidance requirements
• Support simulation environment development (MATLAB/Simulink, Python)
• Conduct hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations and software testing

Qualifications:

• B.S./M.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Controls, or Systems Engineering
• 3–10+ years of experience in flight control, stability, or vehicle dynamics
• Demonstrated experience with control law development and implementation
• Strong skills in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or equivalent modeling tools
• Experience with multi-phase flight regimes and dynamic simulations

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with missile, UAV, or high-speed flight control systems
• Background in model validation, HIL simulation, or embedded control testing
• Familiarity with propulsion/vehicle interaction during variable thrust events
