Senior GPS Subsystems Engineer

Senior GPS Subsystems Engineer

The Guidance Electronics Team is searching for a Senior GPS Subsystems Engineer with experience in GPS technology. The role of the GPS Subsystems Engineer is to provide GPS electronics solution for missile products. GPS electronics solution includes architecture development, requirement definition, electronics design, analysis, modelling and testing. GPS Subsystem Engineer collaborates with missile level system engineers in developing requirements for the subsystem. They perform analysis and modeling to decompose requirements for GPS sub-assemblies and component designs.

What You Will Do

• Assignments may include analysis of hardware designs, subsystems, and components; architecting new electronic systems; developing and documenting subsystem requirements and test plans; peer reviews of designs as a subject matter expert; presentations to peers, management, and government customers; and root-cause failure investigations.
• Interface directly with suppliers of navigation or guidance electronics components, IMUs and GPSs, to monitor and manage programmatic activities and ensure compliance to requirements
• Missile Systems has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees.
• Assignments may require supporting multiple programs.
• Assignments may require some travel, including foreign travel.
• Work within a multi-disciplined team.
• Work independently, with little supervision.
• Develop a network and know when to use it to get help.
• Collaboration with both Functional and Program higher level leadership.
• Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a Bachelor's Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience
• Minimum of 5 years of engineering experience
• Experience with electrical hardware development
• Experience in sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development, developing RF electrical subsystems and/or requirement validation

Qualifications We Prefer

• Missile Radar and RF seeker subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic so the ideal candidate will have a background in detailed design and troubleshooting of one or more of these components. Ideal candidates will also have some experience in systems engineering and architecture and have a desire to grow into a guidance section architect.
• Ideal candidates shall also have demonstrated understanding and wide application of technical theories and concepts in the area of navigation subsystems/components used in modern guidance electronics platforms
• Recent technical experience relative to integrated Guidance Electronics systems using GPS and IMU navigation subsystems blended via Kalman filter techniques
• Knowledge and/or experience with M-Code
• Familiarity with Matlab scripting and tools
• Experience with hardware integration, Hardware in the Loop (HIL), modeling and simulation and environmental testing and electronics test equipment
• Experience working with missiles or similar systems.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams.
• Ability to drive suppliers in meeting commitments.
• Knowledge of DOD Hardware development process (knowledge of design gates).
• Practical experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle.
• Experience in developing proposals.
• Knowledge and/or experience with Model Based System Engineering (MBSE)
