Chandler, AZ (On-Site/Office)
Job Title: Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer
Location: Chandler, AZ
Clearance: Active DoD Secret Clearance required – U.S. Citizenship Required
Designs, develops, implements, verifies and tests algorithms and software and simulation tools to perform guidance, navigation and control of aircraft, spacecraft, submersibles, surface ships, missiles, launch vehicles and upper stages during powered and coast phases of launch, flight, earth orbit, interplanetary cruise and orbital insertion, as well as during staging events. Navigation functions include the statistical processing of measured data points and their substitution into algorithms simulating physical reality. Guidance functions include the formulation of specific equations to achieve a desired position, orientation or orbit in space. Control design and analyses processes consist of the development of the control laws and hardware and software requirements for aircraft, launch vehicles and/or spacecraft.
Work on a 6 degree of freedom (6DOF) simulation to design and test missile flight code
Work with 6DoF simulation models to evaluate system performance
Be experienced with missile flight dynamics, autopilot and guidance design, and implementation into missile flight code
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree with 5 years of professional experience – OR – Master’s degree with 3 years of professional experience – OR – PhD with 1 year of professional experience. Will consider an additional 4+ years of experience in lieu of degree.
Active U.S. Government DoD Secret security clearance at time of application
Experience working with missile guidance, navigatio and control algorithms
Experience with missile simulation and flight dynamics
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience designing, tuning, implementing, and testing guidance algorithms and autopilot parameters for guided missiles and/or interceptors.
Control systems theory and flight dynamics proficiency
Proficiency in creating and maintaining analysis tools in C++, MATLAB and Python
Proficiency in C++ development in a Linux environment
