Senior Flight Controls Software Engineer

Avidyne is redefining what's possible in avionics for general aviation and advanced air mobility. As we expand the reach of our flight control systems—from conventional aircraft to next-generation electric vertical takeoff and landing platforms—we're seeking a  Senior Flight Controls Software Engineer  to help guide how our aircraft behave, adapt, and perform in flight.

This is a hands-on engineering role with responsibility for developing, integrating, and validating embedded control algorithms that play a direct role in safety and aircraft handling. You'll work alongside experts in systems engineering, certification, and flight test—translating theory into real-world behavior and seeing your work through from concept to certification.

Whether you're tuning an autopilot control loop or troubleshooting a system-level behavior in flight test, your contributions will shape how pilots experience Avidyne-equipped aircraft.

Why Avidyne?

At Avidyne, engineers aren't abstracted from the product—they help build it, see it fly, and talk directly with the pilots who use it. With in-house manufacturing just steps away and access to flight training supported internally, you'll stay connected to both the engineering craft and the aircraft itself.

We also believe engineering excellence comes from balanced teams. You'll work in a supportive environment that values clear expectations, mutual respect, and the space to do your best technical work.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement  embedded flight control algorithms using C++, modeling and simulation tools to develop stability augmentation, and guidance behavior for our next generation of autopilots.
• Integrate across the stack , collaborating with hardware, systems, and test teams to align control behavior with sensor and actuator performance.
• Participate in verification , including closed-loop simulation, HIL testing, and flight test support for validation and tuning.
• Contribute to certification , helping ensure software meets DO-178C guidance and objectives as well as broader safety objectives.
• Own features , taking responsibility for both implementation and integration across product lines.
• Support teammates , contributing to design reviews, mentoring junior engineers, and improving tools and workflows.
