UAV GNC

Dronus, a leading company in autonomous drone technology, isseekinga practical and detail-orientedGuidance, Navigation, & Control (GNC)Engineer to join our team in Trieste. The role focuses on developing highlyaccurateand robust control algorithms for use ina number ofdifferent applications with demandingenvironmentalconditions. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in UAVGNCdeveloping, tuning, andvalidatingflight control algorithms. Key Responsibilities Create innovative, reliable, and efficient GNC solutions to enable new and challengingaircraftcapabilities fordifferentplatform layouts (multirotor, variable geometry) Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (Systems, Software, Mechanical,Electrical) in planning,designand development of systems to ensure software and hardware performance and compatibility Analyse sensors' data anddeterminethe best approach toachieve a clean and robustnavigation solution, including for GNSS-denied airspace,leveragingthe available range of installed sensors, including IMU, pressure, VIO Ideate and perform flight test campaigns tovalidatethe control designs in a variety of flight conditions representative of real-world usage Assess third party andopen sourcesoftware which potentially augments existingflight control capabilities Participate hands-on in the full software life cycle, from concept throughimplementation, integration to flight test. Experience Requirements MS in Aerospace, Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical, or related engineering fields A minimum of 3years working in GNC, robotics, UAV engineering, aerospace, or related fields Coding experience (C/C++ preferred) for flight-critical components Hands-on experience with at least one UAV class (multirotor, fixed-wing, VTOL) Proventrack recordtaking acontrol algorithmfromideationtoflight testing Experience collaborating with hardware, avionics, and software teams Preferred Qualifications Demonstrated experience with PX4-based platforms Experience withvisual-inertial odometry (VIO), SLAM Experience with redundancy management, fault-tolerant control Experience withValidation&Verificationprocedures Knowledge of sensor drift issues and mitigation methods Ability to debug control/system issues in the field Familiarity with version control and collaboration tools (Jira, Git, or equivalents)#J-18808-Ljbffr
