GNC Modeling & Simulation Sr Engineer – Grand Prairie TX

Lockheed Martin • Grand Prairie, TX

14h • Onsite

About The Position

Lockheed Martin is seeking an experienced Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer who will specialize in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) of complex technical solutions. This person will join a highly skilled team of systems engineering technologists and algorithm developers supporting various contracts and IRADs within Missiles and Fire Control. The role involves designing and documenting model and simulation requirements and architecture, developing, verifying, and validating complex models and simulations (e.g., missile 6-DOF simulations, effects-based simulations), evaluating system performance in complex scenarios, performing critical studies and analyses, and supporting ground and flight test efforts including Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) activities. The candidate will also support program reviews and technical interchange meetings. Experience in weapon system and/or sensor modeling, and integrating MATLAB models, C++ models, and tactical software into simulations is required. Proficiency in C++ and MATLAB is essential, along with good communication and collaboration skills.
