• Identifying opportunities for additional expanded and new technical tasking for members of the subdivision. Assisting management in the pursuit of new opportunities.

What You Need to be Successful

Minimum Requirements for a Senior Engineering SpecialistMultiDisciplinary Guidance Navigation & Control Engineering:

• Bachelors degree in a STEM field or equivalent is

• Minimum of 12 years of applicable professional or educational experience is required

• Expertise in one or more of the following: spacecraft or launch vehicle control systems engineering control system design and analysis estimation theory or advanced dynamics is needed for the role

• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink Python or a related language

• Team or project leadership experience

• Experience with rendezvous and proximity operations including relative navigation using Kalman filtering or other estimation techniques

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to coordinate crossfunctional teams and engage with external stakeholders

• Strategic thinking and problemsolving abilities with a focus on innovation and operational excellence

• Skills in influencing others and aligning team members to a common vision and strategy

• Experience training and mentoring less experienced technical staff

• Willingness to travel up to 25 and work outside regular business hours to accommodate customer needs

• This position requires ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance which is issued by the U.S. government. U.S. citizenship is to obtain a security clearance

How You Can Stand Out

It would be impressive if you have one or more of these:

• Advanced degree in a STEM field with a focus on controls dynamics estimation or a related specialty is strongly preferred

• 15 or more years of relevant technical engineering experience is desirable

• Experience supporting spacecraft or launch vehicle programs from concept design through launch and beyond

• Proficiency with multiple of the following:

Spacecraft or launch vehicle attitude determination and control

Payload pointing estimation and control

Advanced control techniques and applications
