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

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

We are developing the future of Army Aviation with the Bell MV-75 Valor Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA), part of the US Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) modernization effort, and a next generation stop-fold tilt-rotor as part of the DARPA SPRINT program. We are also developing the Bell 525 Relentless and designing upgrade kits for the legacy fleet.

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 ARP
  4754A, SAE ARP
  4761, 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 orreal-time operating systems (RTOS) environmentutilizing Model Based Design (MBD) techniques with tools such as Math Works 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
• Multiple levels will be considered for this position with a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience

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.

• 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
