The engineer designs, develops, implements, verifies and tests algorithms that perform guidance, navigation and control of aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles and upper stages during powered and coast phases of flight, earth orbit, interplanetary cruise and orbital insertion, as well as during staging events. Navigation functions include the statistical processing of measured data points and their substitution into algorithms simulating physical reality. Guidance functions include the formulation of specific equations and control laws to achieve a desired position in space. Control design and analyses processes consist of the development of the control requirements for aircraft, launch vehicles and/or spacecraft.The typical GNC Engineer should show:KNOWLEDGE - Demonstrates a strong understanding and applies industry techniques within area of specialization.COMPLEXITY - Develops solutions to problems of moderate scope and complexity.IMPACT - Contributes to organizational projects and goals. Represents on specific projects and teams, contributing to effective collaboration and problem resolution.Typical GNC Engineer tasks may include:Develop, test and verify embedded algorithms that perform inertial tracking, inertial navigation and/or sensor fusionDevelop, validate, and test complex models & simulations that utilize Kalman filters, discrimination algorithms, & other techniques to track and discriminate targets of interest.Evaluate and analyze system performance in complex scenarios and environments and verify system and subsystem level requirementsPerform analyses and test activities that support ground and flight test efforts including Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) activitiesOpportunities will exist to join small teams of engineers and algorithm developers on a variety of different programs that are in various stages of product development.Support program reviews and technical interchange meetings with internal leadership and/or external customersBasic QualificationsBS in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, computer science, applied mathematics, or similar STEM degree and 1+ years of relevant experience.Interim Clearance is needed to start, therefore you must be a US Citizen.Shall be fluent in one or more of the following languages:MATLAB, python, C++Shall have experience solving problems and relevant algorithm development in 3 of the GNC sub-domains mentioned below (Can be all in one domain or across Nav and Inertial tracking)Navigation: inertial navigation, covariance analysis, GNC performance modelling, advanced GPS signal processing techniquesInertial Tracking: extended and unscented Kalman filtering, non-linear state estimation, inertial attitude and line-of-sight estimation, multi-hypothesis tracking, multi-sensor fusionShould demonstrate strong math skills in the areas of: linear algebra, matrix math, statistics, coordinate frame transformationsHave experience in validating C++ algorithm simulations and hardware models with real-time data collectionsHave been exposed to implementing and debugging GNC algorithms running in a real-time processing environmentsDesired SkillsActive Secret ClearanceAbility to perform preflight system performance assessment and post flight verification analysesHave been exposed to electro-optic phenomenology and optical system analysis as it applies to GNC.Strong programming skills that can translate to C++ in a Linux environmentFamiliarity with Modelling and Simulation of GNC systemsRelevant experience deploying algorithms that satisfy real-time performance requirementsPay InformationFull-Time Salary Range: $81100.00 - $150500.00At Lockheed Martin, we know mission success starts with taking care of our people.
