Overview
Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $3.9B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism.
The Advanced Hypersonic Weapons & Guided Munitions Division (E20) of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) conducts research and development analyses in the following technical disciplines: guided munitions including guided and unguided projectiles, guided missiles, and guided rockets, advanced fire control and methods to close the fire control loop against threats, gun and launcher systems, sensors, and high speed projectiles and bullets.
Responsibilities
V2X is looking for team members to provide systems design and technical engineering; engineering technician and project management support; technical writing, risk management, configuration management and logistics support services in the areas of engagement systems which includes: guided munition weapon systems, guided and unguided projectiles, guided missiles, and guided rockets, advanced fire control and methods to close the fire control loop against emerging threats, gun and launcher systems, sensors, high speed projectiles & bullets, missiles and rockets, and test and evaluation.
Description:
The successful candidate is expected to perform tasks in the following areas:
Develop, implement, and refine Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms for guidance laws, control loops, navigation filters, and state estimation.
Support weapon system modeling and simulation, including 6 DOF (six degrees of freedom) simulation environments and subsystem integration.
Perform trajectory analysis, mission performance evaluations, and control system stability assessments.
Develop navigation solutions integrating IMUs, GPS, INS, seekers, and other sensor modalities.
Conduct Monte Carlo analysis, uncertainty modeling, and system performance sensitivity studies.
Implement GNC prototypes in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or equivalent simulation frameworks.
Analyze telemetry, flight test data, and HWIL/SIL outputs to validate system performance.
Support requirements decomposition, interface definition, and subsystem integration with E20 system engineering teams.
Document models, test results, algorithm behavior, and performance in technical reports and presentations.
Participate in technical reviews, design sessions, and engineering working groups with government and contractor personnel.
Qualifications
Experience:
4+ years experience in GNC engineering, missile guidance, flight controls, or related system modeling.
Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and at least one programming language (Python or C/C++).
The successful candidate shall have experience with guidance algorithms (proportional navigation, pursuit guidance, optimal guidance, intercept geometry), navigation & estimation, Kalman filtering (EKF/UKF), inertial navigation, GPS/INS integration, sensor fusion, control engineering, PID, LQR, state space control, autopilot design, stability & robustness analysis, M&S (Modeling & Simulation), MATLAB/Simulink, Python (NumPy/SciPy), C/C++ for embedded or real time simulation, and familiarity with 6 DOF modeling.
Skills & Technology Used:
Ability to work with E20 technical SMEs to develop or refine analytical tools, performance models, or algorithmic improvements.
Candidate will use standard office IT equipment and Microsoft Office software suite - Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, SharePoint and Teams.
MATLAB/Simulink and at least one programming language (Python or C/C++).
Preferred Qualifications:
Familiarity with hardware in the loop (HWIL) or software in the loop (SIL) environments is a plus.
Experience supporting missile systems, unmanned systems, or weapons/flight dynamics programs.
Experience supporting NSWCDD, NAVSEA, or other DoD weapons engineering divisions.
Experience with aerospace flight test data analysis or guidance law verification.
Knowledge of seeker modeling, sensor suite integration, or autopilot tuning.
Working Environment:
Candidate should expect 100% of the work to be performed on-site, at NSWCDD in Dahlgren, VA.
Work will be performed primarily in an office environment and will include some field and laboratory work.
Typically testing will be performed outdoors.
Local travel, regional and international travel is possible but infrequent. Less than 5%.
Education / Certifications:
Bachelor s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline (Master s preferred)
Security Clearance Required:
Must be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance at the Secret level. US Citizenship is a requirement for Secret clearance at this location.
