Embedded Flight Control Software Engineer - North-East Switzerland (On-site)
About the Role
Join an advanced Swiss engineering team developing model-based flight control and embedded software for autonomous aviation systems. You'll work where simulation meets embedded firmware, running SIL/HIL tests and enabling safe autonomous functionality.
Why Apply?
* End-to-end ownership: from model design to embedded firmware validation.
* Modern SIL/HIL simulation frameworks and structured flight test integration.
* Close collaboration with embedded, avionics, and systems engineers.
Responsibilities
* Design, implement, and test model-based control software (e.g., Simulink/Matlab).
* Integrate models into embedded targets (C/C++ firmware, RTOS desirable).
* Develop and run SIL/HIL test campaigns; document results clearly.
* Create technical documentation and training materials.
* Troubleshoot sensors and embedded I/O during bring-up and integration.
* Stay updated on regulations and sensor technology for continuous improvement.
Profile
* BSc (MSc preferred) in Aerospace, Computer Science, Controls, or related.
* 3+ years in model-based software development.
* Hands-on with simulation (SIL/HIL) and embedded integration.
* Good knowledge of flight dynamics & control theory.
* Fluent English (German an advantage).
* Swiss/EU work rights required.
Offer
* Permanent, 100% on-site role in Zurich / North-East Switzerland.
* Competitive package, international travel up to ~25%. (Once a quarter roughly)
* Industry-leading projects in autonomy and embedded flight control.
