GNC Engineer

The role

You will design and develop advanced guidance, navigation, and control solutions for the UAV team. Work includes integrating sensor data, developing control laws, and moving from simulation to embedded implementation and live flight testing.

What you will do

• Develop state-of-the-art navigation and sensor fusion algorithms for UAVs
• Design and implement GNC and flight control systems
• Build filtering and estimation strategies for robust and efficient flight performance
• Run extensive simulations (Monte Carlo, SITL, HITL) and coverage testing
• Analyze test flight data and refine algorithmic performance
• Support full-stack system integration: GNSS, INS/IMU, localisation, and fusion
• Maintain and evolve a flight-proven flight computer across multiple UAV platforms

Required qualifications

• Engineering school or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field
• 3+ years of experience in aerospace GNC systems
• Strong foundations in control theory, estimation, and sensor integration
• Proficient in Python and embedded C/C++
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo) and version control (Git)
• Familiarity with open-source autopilots (PX4, Ardupilot, Betaflight, etc.)
• Hands-on electronics and integration skills: debugging, soldering, harnessing
• 100% dedication to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans

Nice to have

• FPV pilot hobbyist
