Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer Level 3

Indotronix International Corporation • Chandler, AZ

9d • Onsite

About The Position

The Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer will design, develop, implement, verify, and test flight and simulation software. The role includes developing and maintaining six-degree-of-freedom (6 DOF) simulations to design, analyze, and test flight algorithms and code; optimizing flight and simulation software for performance, robustness, and maintainability; and using trajectory optimization and analysis tools to evaluate mission performance and GNC designs.

This onsite position is located in Chandler, Arizona, and has a stated duration of 12 months. It is contingent upon obtaining and maintaining required program access within a reasonable period, as determined by the company. An active U.S. Government Secret security clearance is required.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related engineering discipline, with at least 2 years of professional experience; or a master's degree in one of these fields with 0 years of professional experience.
• Existing U.S. Government security clearance at the Secret level.
• Experience with GNC concepts, algorithms, or analysis.
• Experience with one or more of MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or similar technical software tools, with development in a Linux environment.
• Experience supporting development, modeling, simulation, test, integration, or analysis of aerospace, missile, spacecraft, or autonomous systems.

Nice To Haves

• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Strong foundation in control systems theory and guidance law development.
• Experience with state estimation and nonlinear filtering, such as Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter, or Unscented Kalman Filter.
• Domain knowledge in target tracking and seeker systems (infrared and/or radio frequency).
• Experience developing and validating target dynamics and measurement models.
• Experience with seeker measurements such as angle-only measurements, line-of-sight rate estimation, pixel/centroid-based measurements for infrared seekers, and/or range, range rate (Doppler), azimuth/elevation, and angle-only tracking for RF seekers.
• Familiarity with tracking concepts such as data association, track initiation and maintenance logic, and multi-target tracking in the presence of false alarms and clutter.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python and experience with software development tools such as Jira in a Linux environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, implement, verify, and test high-quality flight and simulation software.
• Develop and maintain 6 DOF simulations to design, analyze, and test flight algorithms and code.
• Optimize flight and simulation software for performance, robustness, and maintainability.
• Use trajectory optimization and analysis tools to evaluate mission performance and GNC designs.
