TL;DR · Guidance, Navigation & Control Engineer II

As a GNC Engineer at the Theater Strike Weapon System program portfolio, you will join a dynamic team focused on developing advanced missile systems such as Conventional Prompt Strike and Hypersonic Weapon Systems. Your primary responsibilities include applying expertise in guidance, navigation, and control to develop algorithms, integrate Matlab/Simulink models into C++ simulations, and create high-fidelity simulation software using C++, Python, and other languages. You will work on a high-performance computing cluster with Docker/Container and Kubernetes deployment, collaborating closely with the Flight Software team and customers in an Agile DevOps environment. Essential skills include proficiency in rigid body dynamics, control theory, and programming, particularly in MATLAB/Simulink for feedback control systems, C/C++, and strong math skills. Experience with Extended Kalman Filters, FORTRAN, and 6DOF simulations is highly desirable. This role requires a minimum of 2+ years of related experience and the ability to obtain Interim Secret clearance before starting.

What you'll do

  • Apply missile guidance, navigation, and control expertise to develop algorithms and models.
  • Develop high-fidelity simulation software using C++, Python, and other languages.
  • Integrate Matlab/Simulink models into 6-DOF C++ simulations for testing.
  • Create unit tests and implement simulation software on high-performance computing clusters.
  • Work in an Agile DevOps environment with Docker/Container and Kubernetes deployment.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience using MATLAB and Simulink for feedback control systems and navigation algorithms.
  • Strong background in C/C++ programming and software development practices like GitLab.
  • Expertise in rigid body dynamics, control theory, and advanced mathematics including linear algebra and matrix math.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced Agile DevOps environment with Docker/Container and Kubernetes deployment.
  • Experience with high-fidelity simulations, state estimation algorithms, and 6DOF models.
