Flight Control EngineerFlight Control / Stability / Modelling(UAS / UAV / Aerospace) Location - Bristol / Southwest (Hybrid)Salary - Flexible DOEWe are building a new UK-based communications engineering team to support advanced unmanned and autonomous platforms operating in complex defence environments.This role is focused on flight stability and stabilisation systems for small to light aircraft. It is primarily algorithm- and software-driven, rather than hardware design, and centres on ensuring aircraft and payloads (such as cameras and gimbals) remain stable and effective throughout flight. This is a strong opportunity to work on new-to-market aerospace platforms within a fast-growing, mission-led engineering environment.What you’ll do:You will design, develop, and integrate control and stabilisation systems for unmanned aircraft, working closely with flight systems, software, and platform engineering teams.Design and refine autopilot and stabilisation systemsDevelop control algorithms to ensure in-air flight stabilityWork on flight control logic for small to light aircraftDevelop stabilisation solutions for gimbals and camera systemsDetermine orientation and calculate corrective control actionsIntegrate control systems across motors, sensors, cameras, and aircraft platformsSupport stability and control across airborne systemsWhat you’ll bring:Background in control systems engineering (algorithm-focused)Experience with flight stabilisation, control logic, or autopilot systemsUnderstanding of motors, sensors, cameras, and control integrationExperience working on airborne or autonomous platformsSystems-level mindset with strong software and control integration experienceWhat’s on Offer:A chance to shape an entirely new engineering capability and influence the future of aerospace designCompetitive salary, based on experienceUp to 10% matched pension contributionPrivate medical insurancePerformance-related bonus#Aeropsace #AutonomousSystems #Drones #Innovation #FutureTalentGroup
