Control And Software Engineer

About Us : We, Axial Aero ( are a National Award-winning start-up in the Aerospace & Defence domain. Our founding team is a blend of military and civil pilots, electronics engineers, programmers, data scientists and entrepreneurs. We developed India's first next-gen full 360-degree flight simulator prototype that has been validated by the Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy. We’re doing interesting things and pushing boundaries in our domain. This makes our workplace culture exciting, dynamic, and fast-moving. Innovative thinking, creative designing and passionate building are our core drivers. Self and mutual respect, trust and friendship are our core values. Role Summary : You will lead the development of motion control systems for advanced flight simulators, integrating real-time control with commercial servo platforms. You will own motion cueing logic, trajectory control, and interface design with external simulation software or flight models. Key Responsibilities : - Develop and implement motion control algorithms for 6DOF and 3-axis full-rotation systems.

• Integrate COTS servo drives using EtherCAT, CANopen, or equivalent protocols.
• Design and tune PID / motion profiles (velocity, acceleration, jerk control).
• Write real-time software to manage coordinated motion of multiple axes.
• Interface with flight simulation software to receive input for motion cueing.
• Ensure deterministic control performance and synchronization across devices.
• Perform system testing, debugging, and tuning on hardware. Required Skills & Experience : - 7+ years in motion control systems or robotics.
• Strong knowledge of control theory (PID, feedforward, trajectory planning).
• Experience with EtherCAT / CANopen, real-time systems, and servo drive integration.
• Proficient in C / C++ or Python, and real-time control frameworks (e.G., TwinCAT, ROS 2, or similar).
• Familiarity with motion cueing algorithms and kinematics for simulators or parallel robots.
• Experience in tuning commercial motion systems (e.G., Kollmorgen, Beckhoff, Delta Tau, Siemens, Fanuc). Nice to Have : - Experience with flight simulation platforms (X-Plane, MSFS, custom dynamics).
• Familiarity with PLC integration or embedded systems. Location : Bengaluru or Hyderabad.
