Job Title: Technical Expert, Engineering – Flight Control Laws Design & Development Location: Dorval, Quebec, Canada Position Overview: We are seeking an experienced Flight Control Laws Design and Development Engineer to support the design, development, verification, and validation of flight control laws for Fly-By-Wire (FBW) aircraft. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in aircraft flight dynamics, control systems engineering, aerodynamics, and flight control law development. Strong proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and C is essential, along with an understanding of aircraft stability, handling qualities, and aviation certification standards.

Key Responsibilities: Design, develop, and enhance new and existing flight control laws for Fly-By-Wire (FBW) aircraft. Develop and improve flight control assessment tools using MATLAB and C . Support flight control laws, autopilot, and navigation system development for R&D; projects.

Develop and maintain system and flight control law requirements. Perform requirements verification and validation (V&V;) for new and updated flight control laws. Design pilot-in-the-loop control laws based on aircraft handling qualities, flight performance, structural envelope protection, and aircraft-level requirements.

Evaluate flight control laws and Fly-By-Wire system performance, stability, and failure conditions. Conduct analytical assessments, desktop simulations, pilot-in-the-loop simulator testing, and flight test data analysis.



Ensure flight control law development and verification comply with DO-178B and SAE ARP4754 standards.

Support integration of flight control laws into test rigs and supplier hardware platforms.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. PhD is preferred. Minimum 10 years of relevant experience developing flight control laws for Fly-By-Wire (FBW) aircraft. Strong understanding of aircraft flight dynamics, aerodynamics, and aircraft stability. Expertise in classical and contemporary control system design techniques for SISO and MIMO systems. Knowledge of advanced control law design techniques and methodologies.

Experience evaluating control laws using linear and nonlinear analysis techniques. Understanding of aircraft handling qualities and pilot-in-the-loop control systems. Strong proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink for aircraft modeling, simulation, and control law development.

Programming experience with MATLAB scripting and C . Knowledge of DO-178B, SAE ARP4754, system requirements verification, validation, and aerospace software certification. Understanding of state estimation techniques and Kalman filtering.

Fluency in both written and spoken French and English.

Preferred Skills: PhD in Aerospace Engineering.

Experience with flight control system integration and testing.

Experience working with flight control hardware and test platforms. Exposure to autopilot and aircraft navigation system development.
