Are you looking for a career building deep expertise in a technical area critical to our national defense? Do you wish to collaborate with and learn from some of the country's top vehicle navigation, controls, and simulation subject matter experts? If so, the Strike Guidance, Navigation, Controls (GNC), and Seekers group is looking for newly graduating engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and scientists like you! Our group's goal is to ensure the United States has a distinct technology advantage in autonomous systems by leading next generation development and prototyping. We do this by providing world class design solutions with a focus on: Guidance, Navigation, and Controls, Modeling and Simulation (M&S), Hardware/Software Development and Test, Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimization. We are seeking creative problem solvers with capabilities and interests to join our team in taking on a breadth of technical challenges. We work on a variety of systems including: hypersonic missiles, cruise missiles, and autonomous flight vehicles. We are committed to developing exceptional talent and supporting a culture of innovation, and as part of our group you will have the chance to grow your expertise across these technologies.
