About The Position

Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 114,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. At Lockheed Martin, we apply our passion for purposeful innovation to keep people safe and solve the world's most complex challenges. We are seeking an experienced Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer who will specialize in developing algorithmic solutions to complex technical problems to join our team in sunny Grand Prairie, Texas! What You Will Be Doing Lockheed Martin (LM) is seeking a Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GNC) Engineer with emerging experience. Some of the duties include developing and/or integrating models of flight environment, sensors, mass properties and aerodynamics. The GNC Engineer will also be responsible for integrating algorithms for flight controls, guidance and navigation, as well as launch sequence and target tracking. The candidate should understand basic flight mechanics and equations of motion governing a six degree of freedom (6DOF) flight simulation. This integrated flight simulation (IFS) will include truth models as well as representative flight software and statistical error sources used for Monte-Carlo simulation runs. The candidate will be responsible for pre-flight performance prediction simulation runs as well as post-flight reconstruction including model verification and validation with collected flight test data. The candidate should have strong problem-solving skills and be able to identify and correct any unexplained artifacts in the simulation results or flight test data. Strong analytical and math skills are required specifically in the areas of controls, state dynamic equations, linear algebra and statistics.
