Flight Control Engineer

We’re supporting a well-backed, UK-based aerospace company developing a piloted, fully electric aircraft with vertical capability. Following successful crewed flight testing, the team is now preparing for the next phase of development, including the maiden flight of their production aircraft. As part of this, they’re looking to bring in a Flight Control Engineer to take ownership of control law development across the platform. This is a hands-on role sitting at the centre of aircraft performance and stability — focused on hover, transition and forward flight control for a manned aircraft operating in a flight test-led environment. Stabilisation and control logic for a piloted eVTOL aircraft SIL / PIL / HIL validation ahead of flight testing Supporting flight test campaigns, including data analysis and iteration Background in eVTOL, UAV, rotorcraft or fixed-wing aircraft This is a genuinely high-impact role within a small, focused team — offering real ownership of a safety-critical domain and direct involvement in flight testing at a pivotal stage of the programme.
