Navigation /IMU Engineer II (On-Site)

Navigation/IMU EngineerThe Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department is searching for a Navigation/IMU engineer who will work with experienced Navigation/IMU engineers in support of selecting IMUs and integration into navigation subsystems. The Navigation/IMU Engineer shall be able to understand the fundamentals of how IMUs work, how they are tested and be able to analyze IMU performance data. The engineer shall have a basic understanding of serial interfaces, hardware integration and test. The engineer shall have a basic understanding of IMUs and how they integrate into a system as part of the guidance and navigation system. The engineer should also be able to work independently to set up a test to verify IMU performance and analyze the results.What You Will DoWork environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination.Assignments may include supporting programs with IMU selection, testing of IMUs, analysis of IMU performance, interface with IMU suppliers, developing and documenting IMU 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.The Navigation Subsystems Engineer will work broad assignments independently within a program Integrated Product Team (IPT) environmentThe Navigation Subsystems Engineer will be required to effectively communicate, written and orally, and will regularly provide status of issues, progress and accomplishments to leadership and customersRTX has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees.Ability to "fault-tree out an issue to focus/prioritize activities and resourcesAssignments 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.Qualifications You Must HaveBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major.This position requires a minimum of 2 years prior relevant professional work experience (excluding internships).An advanced degree in a related field may be substituted for additional years of experience as follows: Master's is equal to 2 years of experience or a Ph.D. is equal to 4 years of experience.Knowledge of Electrical Engineering fundamentals, subsystems and systems engineering and the ability to take requirements and select the appropriate IMU for use in our productsThe ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.Qualifications We PreferMissile systems typically contain IMUs, GPSs.
