Sr. Flight Control Law Engineer

Reliable Robotics is seeking a Senior Flight Control Law Engineer to join their Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Team in Mountain View, California. This role is crucial for developing automated flight systems, focusing on designing and implementing flight control laws for various phases of operation including autotaxi, auto-takeoff, autoland, and automatic rollout.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge autonomous aircraft technology, combining both software engineering and aerospace expertise. You'll be responsible for developing and testing flight control algorithms, working with C/C++ flight software, and conducting simulations using Python. The role requires a strong background in aerospace engineering or robotics, with significant hands-on experience in flight controls development.

What makes this role particularly attractive is the direct impact on the company's core mission of developing high-integrity, safety-critical systems for automated flight. You'll work closely with pilots and operations teams, bridging the gap between theoretical design and practical implementation. The compensation package is competitive, ranging from $207,000 to $235,000, plus equity options and comprehensive benefits.

The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of professional experience, strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python, and a deep understanding of flight dynamics. While the position requires on-site presence in Mountain View and up to 10% travel, it offers the opportunity to work in a casual environment with great co-workers while contributing to revolutionary advances in autonomous aviation technology.
