Mission & Performance Analysis Engineer

Your mission As  ANAVIA  continues its rapid growth, we are seeking a skilled Mission & Performance Analysis Engineer  who is eager to contribute to the future of unmanned aviation and take on the following key responsibilities:

Simulate and evaluate mission scenarios using flight mechanics and performance models.  Assess aircraft performance, efficiency, and operational limits across the flight envelope. Analyse flight test and simulation data to evaluate aircraft behavior, energy consumption, and mission KPIs. Support the development of mission planning tools and flight envelope visualization.  Interpret results from flight dynamics models (e.g., FlightLab, MATLAB) to extract actionable insights. Track and manage aircraft mass properties using a structured weight breakdown, including weight maturity (Estimated / Calculated / Actual) and center of gravity calculations. Identify and provide relevant performance and dynamics data to support FCS and autopilot functions, including: Performance limits and operational boundaries. Mass properties and aircraft configurations. Aerodynamic and stability-related characteristics. Ensure consistency between flight physics models, mission analysis, and control system needs. Support simulation-in-the-loop (SIL) and integrated validation activities. Contribute to trajectory optimization and contingency scenario definition. Document assumptions, analyses, and recommendations for system and mission improvements.

Your profile Education:  Bachelor’s degree  in Aerospace Engineering or a related field. Experience:  Experience with flight simulation and analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, FlightLab, XPlane or similar).  Strong understanding of flight mechanics and aircraft performance. Skills: Solid skills in data analysis and scripting (e.g., MATLAB, Python). Ability to interpret and work with simulation models and engineering data. Understanding of flight control system principles and data needs.  Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Languages:  Proficiency in English. German desirable.

Join a dynamic and international team at  ANAVIA  and help shape the future of unmanned aviation.  We look forward to receiving your application. Please note that this position is open only to candidates who hold a valid Swiss work permit, EU nationality, or Swiss citizenship.
