Who we are:

We are a start-up based out of Bengaluru & Delhi NCR. We are engaged in development of next generation missions and technologies (NGM&T) towards future warfare needs of the Indian defence forces. It is undertaking research towards enhancing persistence and autonomy for unmanned vehicles and robotic swarms. NRT’s product development portfolio includes a solar power stratospheric high altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) unmanned platform and an air/ground launched stand-off autonomous system.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Establish processes for the development of the flight control system.
Plan and execute test procedures for verification and validation of the flight control system.
Develop mathematical models for simulating motion of flexible aircraft.
Establish Flight control system architecture for aeroelastic aircraft.
Control surface sizing and evaluating control surface effectiveness for aeroelastic aircraft.
Control law development for aeroelastic modes and path stabilization.
Develop advanced guidance algorithms for flight path optimization, jetstream crossing, thermal soaring and energy management.
Develop estimators/ Kalman filters for estimating structural dynamic states.
Create MATLAB code/ Simulink models to evaluate guidance, flight control and estimation algorithms
Establish test setup for SIL, PIL and HIL simulations. Evaluate limitations and calibrate for errors.
Post flight analysis and evaluation of Flight Control System.
Prepare work breakdown plan for given problem statement.
Coordinate with flight controls team and stakeholders to meet project requirements and deadlines
Consistently and proactively work with team members to solve complex design problems.
Guide team members for execution of project specific tasks.
