Flight Control Engineer (Missile)

Comet Aerospace is a company by IIT founders. We are developing surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles.

We are starting full RnD work in furthering the development of our missile. We need a Flight Control Engineer for the same.

Below is the overall work plan -

Background: We have already conducted an unguided missile launch test with a range of 2 KM. In this "unguided" test, we had limited control on where our missile would land once launched.

As next steps, we want to make this guided, meaning the missile would be required to hit a fixed GPS coordinate once launched. This requires three sub-systems to be added to the missile -

• Flight Computer: Includes IMUs, GPS sensors so that the missile knows its current location and orientation at all times. The peripheral electronics and battery packs are also part of this.
• Aerodynamic Control Surfaces: This includes actuator mounted fins and canards that allow the missile to turn mid air, and head towards the target. This requires two things - an aerodynamic study to figure out the fin sizes, and movement required, and calculating the torque and power requirements for the actuators.
• Flight Control Software: This reads data from the sensors, and outputs the required fin/canard actuation.

Mission Requirements

• Missile range 10 KM
• CEP - 5 meters (Circular Error Probable)
• Warhead payload Mass - 10 KG
