What you will be doing
Design, analyze, and optimize GNC subsystem dynamics and control systems using MATLAB/Simulink.
Develop and verify high-fidelity simulation models in MATLAB/Simulink and C++ environments.
Support system integration, test, and verification activities to ensure subsystem performance meets program requirements.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams throughout the program life cycle, from requirements through verification and validation.
Contribute to mission operations and post-launch performance assessments, as needed.
Lead small team of engineers to execute on program in meeting program milestones and supporting system level design reviews
Own the GNC subsystem output including plan for PDR,CDR, SIQT, Delivery and Launch of various vehicles through design life cycle.
Successful applicants generally have at least 5+ years of related experience and may have a post-secondary degree or training in a related discipline
The information below reflects the standard job description for this position: Designs, develops, implements, verifies and tests algorithms to perform guidance, navigation and control of aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles and upper stages during powered and coast phases of 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 and control laws to achieve a desired position in space. Control design and analyses processes consist of the development of the control requirements for aircraft, launch vehicles and/or spacecraft. #spacegnc
