Job Description
Our Clientis seeking aGuidance Navigation Control Engineer IIfor an opportunity with our client in the Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing industry.
Position Summary:
- In this role you will help develop and evaluate guidance navigation and control systems for advanced aerospace applications with a focus on seekerbased missile engagements and precision intercept performance.
- You will apply mathematical models control theory and state estimation techniques to design and analyze algorithms that process seeker measurements and drive guidance and control laws.
- Your work will include building and maintaining six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) simulations integrating hardware and software components and performing detailed performance assessments to ensure system reliability and mission success.
- You will work closely with experienced engineers to grow your expertise in seeker modeling tracking algorithms and advanced GNC techniques.
- Designing developing implementing verifying and testing highquality flight and simulation software; developing and maintaining 6DOF simulations to design analyze and test flight algorithms and code; optimizing flight and simulation software for performance robustness and maintainability; and using trajectory optimization and analysis tools to evaluate mission performance and GNC designs.
- This position is contingent upon obtaining and maintaining required program access(es) within a reasonable period of time as determined by the company.
- Bachelors degree with 2 years of professional experience or a Masters degree with 0 years of professional experience in electrical engineering aerospace engineering mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Must have an existing U.S. Government security clearance at the Secret level.
- Experience with guidance navigation and control (GNC) concepts algorithms or analysis.
- Experience with one or more of the following: MATLAB/Simulink Python C/C or similar technical software tools with development in a Linux environment.
- Experience supporting development modeling simulation test integration or analysis of aerospace missile spacecraft or autonomous systems.
- Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in electrical engineering aerospace engineering mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Strong foundation in control systems theory and guidance law development.
- Experience with state estimation and nonlinear filtering (e.g. Kalman Filter Extended Kalman Filter Unscented Kalman Filter).
- Domain knowledge in target tracking and seeker systems (infrared and/or radio frequency).
- Experience developing and validating target dynamics and measurement models.
- Experience with seeker measurements such as angleonly measurements lineofsight (LOS) rate estimation pixel/centroidbased measurements for infrared seekers and/or range rangerate (Doppler) azimuth/elevation and angleonly tracking for RF seekers.
- Familiarity with tracking concepts such as data association track initiation and maintenance logic and multitarget tracking in the presence of false alarms and clutter.
- Proficiency in C/C and Python and experience with software development tools such as Jira in a Linux environment.
