Actuation Systems Engineer

Join the Tilt and Blade Pitch team based in Bristol as an Actuation Systems Engineer and help us to achieve our mission of pioneering electric aviation.

What success will look like for you, as an Actuation Systems Engineer?

As an Actuation Systems Engineer you will be working on the development, integration and verification of the Control Surface Actuation systems on our demonstrator & production aircraft programmes. This role involves supporting the system development from concept to certification.

The candidate will be working on the development of the overall actuation system architecture and design, but with a focus on the actuator controller, integrating this development across diverse aircraft disciplines. This multifaceted approach requires an understanding of systems engineering best practices, control systems development, and systems integration.

You will be working closely with a variety of engineering teams, both in-house and external partners. You will take undertake integrated development and verification through simulation, analysis, and testing (component, rig, ground and flight testing).

You will report to the head of Mechanical Systems and be a key member of the Actuation Systems team, supporting the continued development of our in-house expertise, specialist knowledge and capabilities.

What would we like you to bring.

We want you to be successful in your role and in order to achieve this, you will need to have experience in developing and integrating complex control systems, closely interlinked with other systems, ideally within time-critical programs. You will have the ability to effectively manage multiple tasks and thrive in a complex aircraft development environment, where managing multiple priorities concurrently is the norm. Experience of working in a highly regulated environment on safety critical systems is desirable.

A spectrum of technical competencies is required, including experience in Systems Engineering, Requirement Management, Validation & Verification processes, and an ability to drive system development. Ideally you will have gained this experience from either Aerospace or other highly regulated sectors ie. nuclear, robotics, medical, automotive etc.
