# Flight Controls Engineer

Reports to: Director, Aircraft Systems Type: Full-Time The Role Dominion Scout is Canada's first autonomous collaborative platform (ACP) - a clean-sheet, sovereign aircraft designed autonomy-first, built to fly alongside fighter jets and operate in Arctic conditions no allied program is designing for. There is no pilot onboard to catch what the control system misses, so the control laws have to hold across the full envelope, through component failures, and in weather a simulator only approximates. You design and tune Scout's flight control laws, from the dynamic model through to flight test. You turn mission requirements into GNC requirements, prove the design in simulation and on the rig, and close the loop with telemetry from real flights - working alongside the autonomy, simulation, test, and manufacturing teams taking the aircraft from design to first metal to flight. What You'll Do Design, model, and tune inner- and outer-loop control logic for fly-by-wire flight control systems across standard and dynamic flight regimes. Build high-fidelity dynamic aircraft models in MATLAB/Simulink for control synthesis, performance evaluation, and handling qualities analysis. Derive guida
