Avionics Systems Engineer
Vayu is seeking a Computer Science / Aerospace Engineer with an entrepreneurial skill set in Kenya.  Candidate will be responsible for development, design, implementation, and test of autonomous flight control system and software algorithms for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).Things to Consider1. We are hiring for entrepreneurial positions, at an entrepreneurial company. This means you’ll need to be resourceful and creative, while also following the processes that will allow us to scale quickly.2. We hire for culture and greatness. We are looking for well-rounded people who are willing to commit wholeheartedly to our cause for the next couple of years and grow alongside the company.3. This is a massive opportunity for the right person. The opportunity for upward mobility at Vayu is tremendous, but only if you’re willing to put forth the effort.ResponsibilitiesResponsible for prototype of advanced flight control algorithms in a software simulation environment and implements them in an embedded airborne flight control system. This person must be proficient at debugging and solving problems with closed-loop feedback control systems including control issues with servo-actuated aerodynamic surfaces, digitally implemented control laws, inertial measurement units (IMU), GPS, air-data measurement systems, and various propulsion systems. Must be knowledgeable in the control algorithms used for control of Fixed wing and rotor crafts and implement them into novel systems. Should also be proficient at mathematical modeling of dynamic systems in software environments.Individual will also define flight test scenarios and conduct pre-flight range safety analysis for flight test of autonomous air vehicles. Conduct post-flight analysis and diagnoses of in-flight anomalies. Conduct robustness analysis of flight control loops, using classical and modern control margin techniques. Work on integrated, multidisciplinary project teams to establish technical requirements, schedules for delivery, and priorities toward execution on a daily basis.
