Spring 2026 Semester | Control, Guidance and Navigation Technologies

The Control, Guidance and Navigation Technologies department is responsible for the development of control, guidance, and navigation algorithms that ensure the safe and reliable operation of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle systems.

Within the team, our colleagues are primarily responsible for:

Designing and developing both low-level and high-level control algorithms used in unmanned aerial vehicles, performing embedded software development for these control algorithms, and executing integration efforts to ensure compatibility with all other systems,
Developing guidance and route planning systems for aerial vehicles,
Enhancing the navigation capabilities of aerial vehicles, including the development of sensor fusion algorithms and estimation of states such as the vehicle's attitude and position information,
Developing flight simulation and mathematical models,
Defining test scenarios for the designed and integrated Control, Guidance, and Navigation algorithms,
Developing model-based software using C/C++ programming languages,
Creating prototype software for control, guidance, and navigation using Matlab-Simulink,
Conducting flight analysis studies specific to Control, Guidance and Navigation algorithms and working on enhancing the capabilities of flight analysis tools.

Candidates who meet the position requirements should:

Have strong interpretation and reporting skills,
Possess knowledge of system dynamics modeling,
Be well-versed in the theory of linear control systems,
Have experience in software development for systems and modeling,
Have knowledge in model-based software development,
Preferably have practical experience in developing digital control systems,
Be knowledgeable about the integration of controllers, processors, and peripheral communication systems.
 

Students currently enrolled in university departments such as Control, Control and Automation, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Aeronautical or Aircraft and Space, Computer, Software, Electrical-Electronics, and Communication Engineering are encouraged to apply for this position.
