We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.\nAs our Flight Dynamics & Control Engineer, you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.\nWe hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.\nWhat you'll do\nDevelop and maintain simulation models (e.g. 6-DOF, aerodynamic, thermal, or subsystem-level) supporting vehicle design and test.\n\nSupport trade studies and performance analysis using simulation tools.\n\nValidate simulation models against test and flight data.\n\nCollaborate with avionics, GNC, and systems engineering teams to define simulation requirements.\n\nMaintain simulation model documentation and version control in line with requirements.\n\nWho you are\nDegree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.\n\nExperience with modelling & simulation tools (MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or similar).\n\nUnderstanding of flight dynamics, aerodynamics, or control systems is a plus.\n\nStrong analytical and software development skills.\n\nExperience with high-fidelity or Monte Carlo simulation methods is a plus.\n\nWhat we offer\nA mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.\nDaily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.\nHigh ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.\nA fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.\nA culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.\nCompetitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2747,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Missiles"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T13:37:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.899,"p_room":1,"age_days":23,"expected_fill_days":126,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hypersonica-gnc-modelling-and-simulation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hypersonica-gnc-modelling-and-simulation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T14:10:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1490,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678356},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678356"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhypersonica-gnc-modelling-and-simulation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhypersonica-gnc-modelling-and-simulation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhypersonica-gnc-modelling-and-simulation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hypersonica-gnc-modelling-and-simulation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhypersonica-gnc-modelling-and-simulation-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3398925}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hypersonica.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3398925},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
