• Design system architecture for avionics, onboard computing, communication systems, and sensors
• Develop and analyze flight control and stability systems
• Tune and optimize control loops (PID tuning)
• Work with ArduPilot-based autopilot systems
• Define interfaces between hardware, software, control, and avionics subsystems
• Analyze aircraft performance, energy consumption, payload capacity, and flight endurance
• Support integration, ground testing, and flight testing activities
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, software, and control engineering teams

• B.Sc. in Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Proven experience in system engineering for unmanned aerial vehicles
• Strong understanding of preliminary aircraft design for multirotor and fixed-wing UAVs
• Experience with flight control, aircraft stability, and control loop tuning
• Hands-on experience with ArduPilot systems
• Deep understanding of propulsion system matching and optimization
• Experience defining avionics and airborne computing architectures
