TL;DR · Senior Guidance Navigation and Control Engineer

The Senior Guidance Navigation and Control Engineer joins the team to support Tactical and Strategic Missile program objectives and requirements. This role involves performing guidance, navigation, and control design and analyses for missile systems, including trajectory shaping and tuning of autopilot parameters. The engineer will generate and modify models and simulations of aerospace vehicles using first principles, implement algorithms in C/C++ coding environments following strict Software Configuration Management processes, and utilize MATLAB/Simulink for tuning and requirements verification. Key responsibilities include analyzing real-time and post-test telemetry data for system level verification. Required skills include knowledge of vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion, flight controls, and estimation theory. The role requires proficiency in Windows and Linux environments, and experience with Python, Fortran, and multi-loop linear and non-linear flight control systems.

What you'll do

  • Perform GNC design and analyses for tactical and strategic missile systems.
  • Conduct trajectory shaping and tuning of missile guidance and autopilot parameters.
  • Generate and modify aerospace vehicle models and simulations using first principles.
  • Implement algorithms and modify simulations in a C/C++ coding environment.
  • Utilize MATLAB/Simulink to create high-fidelity models for tuning and requirements verification.
  • Analyze real-time and post-test telemetry data to support system-level verification.
  • Manage complex projects and maintain requirements traceability and documentation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of relevant GNC Engineering experience.
  • Graduate Degree and minimum 4 years of related experience.
  • Minimum 10 years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a US Security Clearance.
  • M.S. in Aerospace or Electrical Engineering, or similar degree (preferred).
  • Experience in analysis and design of control systems, 6DOF simulations, and flight control systems (preferred).
  • Proficiency in C, C++, MATLAB/Simulink, Fortran, and Python (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
