Job Summary

As a Development Engineer for Missile Control Systems at FERCHAU, you will be at the forefront of aerospace engineering, specifically focusing on Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) for guided munitions. Your daily responsibilities include creating complex simulation models and developing algorithms using 6DoF simulation techniques and linear robust control methods such as H-infinity and LPV. You will play a critical role in implementing these algorithms via MATLAB/Simulink and will be actively involved in the planning and execution of component tests and firing campaigns both domestically and internationally. This position is particularly attractive due to its blend of high-level theoretical modeling and hands-on operational integration.
