Sr Systems Engineer I - Navigation Systems

The Navigation Systems Department within the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) center has positions available in the areas of navigation systems engineering, navigation hardware integration & test, and navigation modeling & simulation development. Knowledge of the mechanization of GNC systems is highly desired, with an emphasis on navigation systems engineering and design. The candidate will use knowledge of Global Positioning Systems, inertial sensors and Kalman filtering to design, develop, test and implement application simulations and models for various missile GNC functions. The type of work will include creating, verifying and validating simulations, including platform dynamics, environmental effects, sensor models, and user interfaces that comprise inertial systems. The candidate will apply missile simulations in support of systems engineering or analysis. The Senior Systems Engineer I candidate will have a basic understanding and applied experience with technical theories and concepts in the field of navigation. The candidate will have a general knowledge of guidance & control systems and potentially other related disciplines. The Senior Engineer will provide imaginative, thorough, and practical technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems. The candidate will work as a part of an Integrated Product Team structure, while also receiving general direction from other engineers within the Navigation Systems Department. This position requires U.S. citizenship for purposes of obtaining a security clearance. Required Skills: The candidate must be experienced in one or more of the following areas: GNC system engineering, navigation hardware integration & test, modeling & simulation development, design and analysis of navigation algorithms, Kalman filtering, Global Positioning Systems, Inertial Measurement Units, and Guidance & Control systems. The candidate must have working experience with C/C++, MATLAB, and modeling/simulation tools, particularly six degree of freedom (6DOF) or Covariance simulations. Must be available for travel to support customer/supplier meetings and provide flight test support. Must be results-oriented and be able to communicate effectively with other engineering disciplines. Desired Skills: Knowledge of any of the following topics: 6DOF equations of motion, simulations, modeling system error characteristics, statistical processes and distributions, data reduction and analysis. Strong mathematical background is desired. Experience or courses in flight dynamics, linear control systems, statistics, Kalman filtering and linear algebra is desired. Required Education (including Major): Minimum Degree: B.S. Majors: Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Systems Engineering.
