Job Description
Our client is seeking an accomplished Lead Aerospace Systems Engineer specializing in Flight Control Systems to join their highly innovative and fully remote engineering team. This senior role demands extensive expertise in the design, development, integration, and testing of complex flight control systems for next-generation aircraft. You will be a key contributor to projects that push the boundaries of aerospace technology, ensuring the safety, performance, and reliability of flight critical systems. The ideal candidate will possess a Master's or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering or a related field, with a deep understanding of control theory, aerodynamics, aircraft dynamics, and embedded systems. Experience with simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink), real-time systems, and safety-critical software development processes is essential. As a remote leader, you will guide and mentor a team of talented engineers, manage project timelines and deliverables, and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including avionics, software, and hardware engineers. Responsibilities include defining system requirements, developing system architectures, performing system integration and verification, conducting safety analyses (e.g., FMEA), and leading verification and validation activities. You will also be responsible for ensuring compliance with stringent aerospace standards (e.g., DO-178C, DO-254). The ability to work autonomously, communicate technical information effectively across distributed teams, and manage complex engineering challenges in a remote environment is critical. This is an exceptional opportunity to shape the future of aviation and contribute to cutting-edge projects that may indirectly influence aerospace developments relevant to the Kitale, Trans-Nzoia, KE area, all within a remote-first framework.

This is a fully remote position, offering the unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge aerospace projects from your chosen location. You will lead a team of engineers in designing, analyzing, simulating, and testing complex flight control architectures for next-generation aircraft. This role demands a deep understanding of aerospace systems engineering principles, robust analytical capabilities, and exceptional leadership skills to guide projects from concept to certification.
Key Responsibilities:
The ideal candidate will possess a Master's or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field, with a minimum of 10 years of experience in aerospace systems engineering, focusing on flight control systems. Extensive experience with control system design, simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink), and system modeling is essential. Proven leadership experience managing engineering teams and projects is required. Strong knowledge of aerospace standards, certification processes, and embedded systems is critical. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills are a must. As this is a fully remote role, exceptional self-management, strong virtual collaboration abilities, and the capacity to lead distributed teams effectively are paramount. This is a career-defining opportunity to shape the future of flight, working remotely while contributing to projects based in the Kakamega, Kakamega, KE region.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the system-level design, development, and integration of flight control systems for various aerospace platforms.
- Define system requirements, architecture, and interfaces for flight control hardware and software.
- Perform dynamic modeling, simulation, and analysis of flight control systems to ensure performance, stability, and safety.
- Develop and validate control laws and algorithms.
- Oversee the generation and execution of test plans for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and flight testing.
- Manage and mentor a team of systems engineers, providing technical guidance and project oversight.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including aerodynamics, structures, avionics, and software development.
- Ensure compliance with aerospace standards and regulations (e.g., DO-178C, DO-254).
- Contribute to proposal development and technical documentation.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the program lifecycle.
