At Embention, we have been driven since 2007 by a clear mission: Enabling drones to populate our skies.
We provide over 700 customers across 70 countries with safety-critical avionics and high-performance components, for advanced air mobility (AAM) including UAVs and eVTOL aircraft, all developed in compliance with the highest aeronautical certification standards (DO178C, DO254, STANAG, etc.).
Our technology supports a wide range of programs, from defense and security applications to urban air mobility, cargo transport, and even space-related recovery projects.
The core of Embention is our R&D organization, with more than 150 engineers across multiple disciplines. Together with the rest of the team, we are a global organization of 200+ professionals aligned around one mission.
Today, Embention has a strong presence in Spain, a growing local team in Los Angeles (USA), and a high-tech production facility in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
As part of our strategic growth, we are now strengthening our footprint in Vienna.
If you have a strong background in flight dynamics, control systems, and simulation and want to work on technology that is ultimately validated in real aircraft, we would love to meet you.
🌟 What would your mission be?
Develop and validate flight control systems and simulation models for unmanned aircraft, supporting the design, tuning, and verification of safety-critical avionics from simulation through real-world testing.
You will work with aircraft dynamics and control models to ensure accurate, robust, and reliable behavior before their integration into UAV and eVTOL platforms.
💡 Which will be your responsibilities?
- Develop flight dynamics and simulation models in MATLAB/Simulink for UAV and eVTOL platforms.
- Develop, analyze, and tune flight control systems and control laws, including gain tuning and parameter optimization.
- Model key aircraft dynamics, including aerodynamics, propulsion, actuators, and sensors.
- Integrate simulation models with Veronte Autopilot to validate complete flight control systems.
- Perform SIL and HIL simulations for verification, validation, and system integration.
- Validate and improve models and control strategies using ground and flight test data.
- Support flight control integration and testing on real aircraft.
- Document models, test results, and validation activities to ensure traceability in a safety-critical environment.
🕵️♀️ What do we need?
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Control Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
- High level of English, both written and spoken.
- Strong knowledge of flight mechanics, aircraft dynamics, and control systems.
- Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, simulation, or control development.
- Knowledge of control theory, stability, system dynamics, and control tuning.
- Strong foundation in mathematics and physics.
- Programming skills in Python, C, or C++.
- Analytical mindset and ability to solve complex engineering problems.
📚 What do we value?
- Experience with UAVs, RPAS, eVTOLs, or autonomous aircraft.
- Experience with SIL, HIL, and real-time simulation.
- Experience developing or tuning flight control laws.
- Knowledge of aerodynamic and aircraft dynamics modeling.
- Experience analyzing flight test data and telemetry.
- Experience integrating autopilots, sensors, actuators, or avionics systems.
- Knowledge of safety-critical aerospace standards such as DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A/B, or ARP4761.
