Senior GNC Engineer

TYTAN Technologies

The PACE is fast. The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We push boundaries, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who are driven by ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in.

At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.

Now, we are looking for a Senior GNC Engineer to design, implement, and validate guidance, navigation, and control systems for advanced UAV platforms. You will work across fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft, and take full ownership of GNC systems from simulation to flight.
This role is hands-on, deployment-focused, and close to the aircraft. You will write production code, help building simulation frameworks, and validate system performance through real-world flight testing. You will act as a technical sparring partner within the GNC domain, contributing experience, pragmatism, and sound engineering judgment.

Your roadmap to make an impact

• Own the end-to-end GNC lifecycle for advanced fixed-wing and VTOL UAV platforms, from early concept to operational flight

• Take guidance, navigation, and control systems from simulation into real aircraft, ensuring robust sim-to-real transfer

• Lead and execute hands-on flight testing, including tuning, validation, and post-flight analysis

• Drive GNC system quality through iterative improvement based on flight data and operational feedback

• Shape autonomous behavior by defining and refining flight modes, transitions, and failure handling

• Act as a technical sparring partner within the GNC domain, contributing experience-based judgment to key decisions

• Collaborate closely with airframe, avionics, and software teams to ensure system-level coherence

• Establish and maintain clear documentation of assumptions, architectures, and validation results
