The Control Law Systems Engineer II joins the Flight Dynamics team within the Flight Sciences division to focus on validation and verification for complex, safety-critical flight control laws and automated guidance systems. This role involves authoring and validating system-level requirements in IBM DOORS, ensuring complete requirements traceability for aircraft system software. The engineer will develop and execute verification strategies using test benches, linear and nonlinear analysis, hardware-in-the-loop, and integrated ironbird testing. Key responsibilities include designing test procedures, performing root cause analysis, and generating certification artifacts to support FAA audits and SAE ARP4754A processes. Candidates should possess experience in requirements-based development, system integration, and technical communication. Preferred skills include knowledge of DO-178C, DO-331, and Matlab/Simulink for analysis or verification support within a certification-driven engineering environment.

What you'll do

  • Author, review, and validate control law system-level requirements in IBM DOORS.
  • Ensure complete requirements traceability for aircraft system software.
  • Develop and execute verification strategies using test benches, linear/nonlinear analysis, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Design and execute test procedures and verification cases.
  • Participate in system integration, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
  • Generate verification reports, analysis reports, and certification artifacts.
  • Support FAA certification activities and System Design Reviews including audit preparation.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of V&V processes, tools, and methodologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 18 months of related engineering experience.
  • Experience in requirements-based development, validation, and verification.
  • Hands-on experience with IBM DOORS or equivalent requirements tools.
  • Experience writing or executing test plans, procedures, and reports.
  • Familiarity with system integration and verification environments.
  • Experience with flight control systems or control law architectures (preferred).
