TL;DR · Specialist, Systems Engineer Control Analyst

Specialist, Systems Engineer Control Analyst /GNC joins the Models, Simulations, and Controls department to support advanced missile propulsion development programs. This role focuses on the requirements, modeling, analysis, simulation, and control development of controllable solid rocket motor and throttling propulsion systems for aerospace and defense applications. The engineer will design and evaluate control algorithms, model propulsion system dynamics including steady-state and transient performance, and develop dynamic models for aerospace control systems. Daily work involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across avionics, software, and test engineering to support integrated system development and ground testing. Required skills include expertise in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), flight dynamics, and propulsion analysis. The role requires proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and programming languages such as C, C++, or Python to perform high-fidelity simulations and time-domain analysis for complex aerospace systems.

What you'll do

  • Design and evaluate control algorithms for solid rocket motor throttling and related actuation systems.
  • Model and analyze propulsion system dynamics including steady-state and transient performance.
  • Develop dynamic models and simulations for aerospace control and controllable propulsion systems.
  • Utilize MATLAB, Simulink, and C/C++ to perform simulation, analysis, and control development.
  • Define and manage requirements at the system, subsystem, and component levels.
  • Support ground test activities and hardware-in-the-loop or software-in-the-loop testing.
  • Prepare technical work products for internal reviews, customer briefings, and program milestones.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree and 4 years of experience in controls, GNC, propulsion analysis, simulation, or related aerospace systems.
  • Graduate degree and 6 years of experience in controls, GNC, propulsion analysis, simulation, or related aerospace systems.
  • Minimum of 8 years of experience in controls, GNC, propulsion analysis, simulation, or related aerospace systems in lieu of a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.
  • Degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline (preferred).
  • Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance (preferred).
  • Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and at least one programming language such as C, C++, or Python (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
