Are you a Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) engineering looking for a new challenge?
Do you want to be an integral part of Launch Services and/or Mission Team which works closely with other Engineering teams and Production to bring new launch and mission concepts to life.
You will get to expand your experience across the following areas.
- Launch and mission operational concept development
- Orbital and suborbital trajectory design and analysis including attitude control, collision avoidance, orbital rendezvous, burn planning and atmospheric re-entry algorithms.
- Document proposed GNC solutions and participate in design reviews with customers
- Support hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing to verify trajectories, GNC, and flight code performance
- Conduct Monte Carlo simulation analyses to define and verify launch and mission operations using C++, Python and MATLAB/Simulink.
- Develop and support release of flight code for pre-launch ground testing, launch, and mission operations
- Integration and testing of GNC sensors, actuators, and software in hardware-in-the-loop environment
- Develop tools and processes for automating common GNC modelling and analysis tasks
You'll need have experience across the following areas.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Aerospace/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering)
- 2+ years experience working in an GNC engineering role
- Experience with numerical modelling & simulation, probability & statistics, multi-physics, and/or similar fields of analysis.
- Fundamental knowledge of atmospheric flight, flight dynamics, guidance, navigation, control systems, and/or orbital mechanics
- Experience in modelling, simulation and/or control of dynamic systems, particularly rigid bodies
- Experience with requirements assessments and interface control document generation
- Experience with data analysis using MATLAB, SciPy, or similar
- Experience with Git version control (e.g., git, github, gitlab)
- Experience developing in C/C++, Python and/or Linux
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD US Government Secret security clearance
Additional desirable qualifications, which you will have the opportunity to develop if you don’t have them
- Active TS/SCI clearance.
- Advanced degree in engineering (Aerospace/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering)
- Experience with ASTOS, GMAT, POST2 or similar mission analysis, trajectory optimization, vehicle design and simulation tools.
- Experience developing real-time control and/or estimation algorithms in autonomous vehicles, satellites or launch vehicles.
- Experience with software and hardware-in-the-loop testing (HITL) and related systems.
- Familiarity with collision avoidance for space safety.
