Mach Industries is building faster, smarter defense infrastructure for the modern era. Backed by Khosla and Sequoia.
About the role
Support control design and evaluation for Mach’s fixed-wing aircraft. You’ll own your piece of the aircraft design, implementation, and validation of flight-critical control laws—spanning takeoff to landing—delivering robust performance across the full envelope. Design control systems within defined architecture and requirements for fixed-wing vehicles
What they're looking for
- Education: Bachelors in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics
- Experience: 0-5 years designing, analyzing and fielding flight control systems for fixed-wing aircraft or high-performance UAVs, including flight test
- Deep knowledge of flight dynamics, stability/controllability, and actuator/sensor modeling
- Familiarity with modern C++ for embedded real-time implementations, strong MATLAB/Simulink/Python for modeling, ID, and analysis
- Familiarity with verification workflows (SIL/HIL), requirements traceability, and safety reviews
- Familiarity with modern software workflows (git, code review, issue tracking) and data/telemetry analysis
