Flight Physics & Flight Controls Engineer (m/w/d)

At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that.

Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.

🎯 How you will make an impact:

• Design and implement flight control laws (attitude, rate, position, and advanced control modes)
• Model aircraft dynamics including aerodynamics, propulsion, and actuator behavior
• Maximize flight performance through controller tuning and stability analysis
• Build high-fidelity simulations (SITL/HITL) and validate them against flight test data
• Analyze real flight logs to identify instability, coupling effects, and performance limitations
• Bridge simulation and reality by improving model accuracy and parameter identification
