GNC Engineer (f/m/d)
Job Description
TYTAN Technologies
At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.
Now, we are looking for a GNC Engineer to design, implement, and validate guidance, navigation, and control systems for advanced UAV platforms. You will work across fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft, and support the GNC team with GNC systems from simulation to flight.
This role is hands-on, deployment-focused, and close to the aircraft. You will write production code, help building simulation frameworks, and validate system performance through real-world flight testing.
Your roadmap to make an impact
Own the end-to-end GNC lifecycle for advanced fixed-wing and VTOL UAV platforms, from early concept to operational flight
Take guidance, navigation, and control systems from simulation into real aircraft, ensuring robust sim-to-real transfer
Lead and execute hands-on flight testing, including tuning, validation, and post-flight analysis
Drive GNC system quality through iterative improvement based on flight data and operational feedback
Shape autonomous behavior by defining and refining flight modes, transitions, and failure handling
Act as a technical sparring partner within the GNC domain, contributing experience-based judgment to key decisions
Collaborate closely with airframe, avionics, and software teams to ensure system-level coherence
Establish and maintain clear documentation of assumptions, architectures, and validation results
