Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer
About The Position
KODA Technologies is seeking a Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer who will specialize in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) of complex technical solutions to join our team in Huntsville, AL. This person will join a highly skilled team of M&S engineers and algorithm developers supporting advanced technology demonstrations. GNC Modeling & Simulation Engineer tasks include designing and documenting model and simulation requirements and architecture, developing, verifying, and validating both complex models and simulations, such as missile 6-degree-of-freedom simulations (6-DOF) and effects-based simulations, evaluating system performance in complex scenarios and environments, and verifying system and subsystem-level requirements. The role also involves performing critical studies, analyses, and test activities, supporting ground and flight test efforts, including Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) activities, and supporting program reviews and technical interchange meetings with internal leadership and/or external customers.
Requirements
- Post-secondary STEM degree with 5+ years of relevant experience
- Willing to work onsite in a classified area or lab environment
- Experience with MATLAB for GNC analysis and simulation development
- Hands-on experience with GNC analysis, including flight dynamics, control systems, or navigation algorithms.
- Experience working with subsystem and software engineers to integrate MATLAB models, C++ models, and tactical flight software into simulations
- Professionally demonstrated advanced proficiency in C++
- Professionally demonstrated strong math skills in the areas of linear algebra, matrix math, statistics, trigonometry, and coordinate transformations
- Strong written/verbal communication and organizational and interpersonal skills
- Active DoW Secret Clearance
