System identification turns flight data into the verified dynamics that guidance and control are designed, tuned and trained on. It is the foundation of an autopilot that adapts across multirotors, fixed wings, VTOLs and missiles.
Responsibilities
- Plan and run your own identification tests, from excitation design to flight tests.
- Identify rigid-body, aerodynamic, propulsion and actuator dynamics using frequency and time-domain methods, including closed-loop identification on vehicles flown under a controller.
- Characterize motors, ESCs, propellers and control surfaces, including bandwidth, delays, saturation, and thermal and battery effects.
- Build and maintain an automated, reproducible pipeline from flight logs to identified model.
- Validate models against held-out flight data, quantify uncertainty, and make sure each model is fit for purpose.
Requirements
- degree in aerospace
- control engineering
- mechanical engineering
- related STEM field
- Nice to have: Fixed-wing aerodynamic modeling
