We’re more than aviation experts, we’re pioneers. We challenge what’s possible. From breaking the sound barrier to advanced tiltrotor systems. Today, we are shaping the future of aviation through specialized engineering. And we want you.

What you’ll be doing as a Flight Control Systems Engineer:

DESIGN AND TEST

Bring your experience and ideas and help us develop software and hardware that will advance our future Military and Commercial products. We are developing the future of Army Aviation with the Bell V-280 Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) and the Bell 360 Invictus Future Attack and Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA), part of the US Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) modernization effort. We are also developing the Bell 525 Relentless, Bell’s Autonomous Pod Transport (APT), and Bell's High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing (HSVTOL) program, a next generation stop-fold tilt-rotor.

Skills You Bring To this Role:

Experience in embedded system development in areas such as: System architecture design, derivation of system, software, and component level requirements, design and development of system architecture, system redundancy management, fault management, crew alerting, flight management, aircraft autonomy, actuation (hydraulic or electric), and system integration, verification, and validation in desktop integrated lab environments, pilot in the loop simulated environments, and/or on flight test aircraft.

• Experience/Familiarity with the Development and test in accordance with appropriate commercial or military regulatory requirements, such as: RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD-810, RTCA DO-178, RTCA DO-254, SAE ARP4754A, SAE ARP4761, AMACC, 14 CFR Part 27 and Part 29 for commercial and military qualification and certification of aircraft systems
• Experience/Familiarity with software development in an embedded or real-time operating systems (RTOS) environment utilizing Model Based Design (MBD) techniques with tools such as MathWorks MATLAB / Simulink with Stateflow and Embedded Coder.
• Experience/Familiarity with the hardware and software associated with Flight Control Systems, Avionics, Electrical System, engine controllers (e.g. FADECs), inertial sensors, air data computers, analog sensors, mission systems, crew stations, and/or actuation devices
• Experience/Familiarity with System Safety Assessments, Failure Hazard Analysis, and Certification/Test plans

What you need to be successful

We are looking for inquisitive and driven engineers with a passion to innovate. You’ll need a Bachelor’s degree, with a Major in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science being preferred. Advanced degrees will be considered as additional experience. Related degrees with relevant experience will be considered.

What we offer you in return

• You’ll be off every other Friday with our 9/80 work schedule
• As a new hire, you will receive 120 hours of vacation
• 80 hours of Personal Time Off (PTO)
• Tuition reimbursement
• And so much more

Textron Relocation Assistance policy is in effect / applies for these positions for candidates who qualify

It’s time to make your mark on the future of aviation. Join us on this mission, and let’s make history together. #CJ
