Flight Control System Engineer

Team: System Engineering

Location: Munich

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: onsite

Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability
 
At Hypersonica, we’re redefining what’s possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.
 
By joining Hypersonica, you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.
 
We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.

What you'll do
  • Design and analyze flight control algorithms and Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) architecture. 
  • Develop and validate control laws through simulation (e.g. 6-DOF simulations).
  • Define flight control system requirements and manage interfaces with avionics and seeker teams.
  • Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and flight test campaigns.
  • Analyze flight/test data and support root-cause investigations.
  • Maintain technical documentation in line with requirements. 

Who You Are 

  • Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
  • Experience in flight control/GNC system design, ideally on missiles, rockets, or aircraft.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and control system design/analysis.
  • Experience with 6-DOF simulation and control law validation.
  • Strong analytical skills and systems-level thinking. 

What we offer 

    • A mission-driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe's most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security. 

    • Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow. 

    • High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes. 

    • A fast-paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions. 

    • A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly. 

    • Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy. 

Security and Eligibility Requirement 

    Due to the nature of the work, applicants must be an EU/NATO/German citizen and eligible for Security Clearance. 

At Hypersonica, every hire raises the bar. We are deliberately small, intensely capable, and deeply mission-driven. If this role feels like a strong fit, or if you believe you bring something exceptional that goes beyond the description, we encourage you to apply.
 
Hypersonica is an equal-opportunity employer and assesses candidates solely on merit, capability, and potential.
 
You can apply directly to this role or reach out to Nathan Sweeney, Head of Talent. We review every application and aim to respond to all candidates within two weeks, whether the answer is yes or no.
