About The Position
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) is seeking an emerging authority Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineer with an active Secret clearance for a position in Grand Prairie, TX. The GNC Engineer will support the integration, test, verification and validation of missile algorithms, as well as support system performance assessments and trade studies. 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 GNC Engineer should have experience with basic flight mechanics and equations of motion governing a six degree of freedom (6DOF) flight simulation and have strong problem-solving skills to identify and correct any unexplained artifacts in the simulation results or flight test data. Knowledge of statistical analysis methods of simulation data and data reduction methods, reporting and development of post-processing tools will be required. The candidate should have working-knowledge of Linux shell, higher order languages (MATLAB, Python), with FORTRAN and/or C++ programming experience a plus. Experience using and tailoring post-run analysis scripts and tools is required.
