Lockheed Martin • Huntsville, AL

18h • Onsite

About The Position

As a GNC Sr Engineer, you will join the GN&C team on the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) program. In this role, you will apply missile guidance, navigation, and control expertise to modeling and simulation. You will integrate Matlab/Simulink models into a 6-DOF C++ simulation, develop high fidelity models and simulation software, and build new source code in C++ and Python. You will also modify code in C++, C, Matlab, Simulink, Fortran, Python, Linux shell, and YAML, create unit tests, and execute simulation software on a high performance computing cluster including Linux systems or VMs. You will work in an Agile DevOps environment with Docker/Container and Kubernetes deployment and collaborate with performance analysts, the Flight Software team, and the customer. This role also involves algorithm development.
