Navigation - Engineer

JT4

2d•$110,000 - $185,000

About The Position

JT4 is looking for a Navigation/ Identification Friend or Foe engineers who are experienced with flight vehicles (Manned/Unmanned), guided munitions, and UAS systems. The successful applicants will support Developmental Test & Evaluation of Navigation and guidance, and/or support Guidance, Navigation and Control development on advanced weapon systems to meet critical needs for warfighters. Engineers in this position are responsible for the developmental test and evaluation and analysis of guidance, navigation and autopilot algorithms, and operational flight software. Additionally, selected candidates will validate and verify performance and supporting ground and flight tests with pre-flight predictions and post-flight analyses. Incumbents will review and provide input to Technical Review Board (TRB), Safety Review Board (SRB), and Report Integrated Product Teams (RIPT) meetings. Candidates will also provide coordination (ground test to flight test) for all projects and assist in the coordination of input from allied engineering disciplines (avionics, armament, electronic warfare, flying qualities, performance, structures, subsystems, and signatures).

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in engineering, Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related STEM degree
GNC, Signal Processing, and/or Modeling / Simulation experience
Engineering experience in system applications to include at least one of the following:
Digital and/or modern control systems
Signal processing
Verification and validation
System-level performance assessments
