ADV000CM2 HLS GN&C Flight Simulation Engineer (A)
About The Position
Aerodyne Industries is seeking a Human Landing System (HLS) Flight Control Simulation Engineer to join their team as a JETS II teammate company for NASA. This role involves developing and maintaining a 6-DOF Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) simulation to support the NASA HLS Program. The primary focus will be on developing flight control system algorithms for both automated and piloted manual flight of lunar lander vehicles. This simulation is crucial for assisting in the design and development of a crewed digital manual control system, prototyping Displays and Controls, and assessing human-in-the-loop handling qualities.
Requirements
- Requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering with experience in the field or in a related area
- Experience in the development of flight control systems for aerospace vehicles
- Experience developing, verifying, and validating GN&C math models and 6-DOF simulations
- Experience with Linux, C/C++ and Python
- Ability to apply knowledge and experience towards timely completion of technical products and services
- Ability to organize and prioritize tasks in order to meet deadlines and schedules with limited supervision
- Excellent communication and documentation skills and the ability to work in a team environment consisting of NASA civil servants and various contractor employees
- Proof of U.S. Citizenship or US Permanent Residency may be a requirement for this position
- Must be able to complete a U.S. government background investigation
Nice To Haves
- MS in Aerospace Engineering with a focus on GN&C and flight controls
- Knowledge of GN&C principles with a background in flight dynamics/orbital mechanics
- Knowledge in the design, analysis, and implementation of navigation algorithms
- Experience with the NASA/JSC TRICK simulation architecture and GIT configuration control tool
- Previous experience with simulation visualization and graphics packages, particularly JSC EDGE and dcapp (open source)
Responsibilities
- Provide math modeling and simulation development of guidance and flight control algorithms for automatic and piloted manual flight of lunar landers
- Develop formal math model and simulation documentation
- Identify team simulation tasks, resolve simulation related issues and assist team members
- Directly interact with the NASA customers, along with various NASA support contractors, during technical meetings and working groups
- Perform other duties as required
Benefits
- Excellent personal and professional career growth
- 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off), when applicable
- Onsite cafeteria (breakfast & lunch)
