Mid-Level Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer
About The Position
The Boeing Company’s Defense, Space & Security organization is seeking a Mid-Level Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer to join its Flight Engineering team in Berkeley, Missouri. The team supports design and test efforts for the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (AGCAS), as well as design, development, integration, and flight testing for flight control on the F/A-18 and F-15. The engineer will collaborate across engineering teams to solve complex problems and communicate technical issues and solutions clearly. The position focuses on developing and verifying guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for fixed-wing aircraft; maintaining six-degree-of-freedom dynamics simulations; and supporting analysis, troubleshooting, software integration, simulations, and testing. It also involves documenting requirements and reusable tools, validating models against test data, and participating in reviews and system testing to deliver products that meet customer expectations. Applicants must be able to obtain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance after starting and must meet U.S. export-control requirements as a U.S. Person. Boeing will not sponsor employment visas. Relocation may be available based on candidate eligibility. This is not a safety-sensitive position and is not contingent upon a program award.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or a directly related non-U.S. equivalent qualification.
- Five or more years of related work experience, or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience.
- At least one year of engineering experience in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC).
- Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance; U.S. citizenship is required for the clearance, and an interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance is required after starting.
- Must meet U.S. export-control compliance requirements as a U.S. Person.
- Must satisfy the Company's Conflict of Interest assessment process.
Nice To Haves
- Ability to work effectively in broad, minimally defined design spaces and communicate technical results clearly.
- GNC development and flight-test support experience.
- Experience working with cross-discipline engineering teams.
- Experience with Microsoft Visio, FORTRAN, and MATLAB/Simulink.
- Experience with flight software release activities, including FQT and airworthiness qualification.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for fixed-wing aircraft.
- Develop and maintain six-degree-of-freedom dynamics simulations and associated analysis tools for mission and performance assessment.
- Support troubleshooting of bugs and anomalies.
- Identify inefficiencies independently, propose solutions, and implement and document reusable tools and automations.
- Gather, define, and document Guidance, Navigation, and Control requirements.
- Validate models against test data to inform and improve simulation-environment accuracy.
- Work with flight simulation and Vehicle Management Systems software engineers to incorporate control laws into the operational flight program.
- Support flight simulations, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and flight testing.
- Participate in design reviews, analyses, simulations, and component and system testing to help ensure products meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations.
Benefits
- Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
- Eligible employees may enroll in health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs, and programs providing paid and unpaid time away from work; eligibility and availability vary.
- Boeing 401(k) with dollar-for-dollar matching on contributions up to 10% of eligible pay and immediate 100% vesting.
- Student Loan Match through the Boeing 401(k) for eligible enrolled U.S. employees.
- Relocation assistance based on candidate eligibility.
