Raytheon is seeking a Guidance, Navigation, and Control Analyst (Systems Engineer) : Location: Pasadena, California What You Will Do This role is critical for the risk reduction and requirement-definition phase of the project's mechanisms. High-fidelity modeling of electromechanical actuators and sensors is required to validate designs against testbed data and to inform the specifications of future hardware iterations. Distill complex models into low-fidelity versions for integration into larger system-level simulations. Provide rapid-turnaround study results for sponsors and maintaining long-term, high-fidelity simulation infrastructure. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: High-Fidelity Modeling: Maintain, modify, and develop high-fidelity behavioral simulations of electromechanical actuators and sensors. Model Validation: Tune and validate simulations against actual testbed data to ensure physical accuracy. Risk Reduction & Requirements: Utilize high-fidelity models to conduct risk reduction activities and establish technical requirements for future versions of mechanisms. System Integration: Create and maintain low-fidelity "surrogate" models that approximate actuator behavior for use in larger, integrated system simulations. Study Support: Execute rapid-turnaround tasks (2–3-week cycles) to support sponsor-driven studies, delivering results via plots and presentations. Simulation Maintenance: Provide ongoing maintenance and updates to the project’s primary simulation environment to ensure stability for other project stakeholders. Vendor Technical Integration: Participate in vendor meetings and technical reviews to absorb critical design information, ensuring that behavioral models accurately reflect external hardware and software specifications. Technical Versatility: Act as a flexible resource within a small team, providing overlap and support for other GNC functions as bandwidth requires. Communication: Translate complex simulation data into clear, concise plots and PowerPoint presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

Requirements

Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM preferred) and a minimum of 8 years of prior engineering experience.
