EDUCATION

Bachelor’s Degree or Equivalent Required

• Assist in defining Guidance, Navigation and Control mission requirements and ensure requirements traceability and quality from the system level to component level
• Use multidisciplinary model data (aero, mass properties, propulsion, etc.) to develop and refine a complex, nonlinear, 6 degrees of freedom simulation model
• Use various software languages, C, C++, FORTRAN, Python, etc. to develop, implement, integrate and test vehicle models and controllers
• Support design of flight control laws using modern linear control design techniques and tools to achieve design and performance targets
• Use advanced nonlinear analysis to assess and refine the control law design
• Perform model validation against test data to inform and improve the accuracy of the simulation environment
• Develop supplementary controllers, limiters, mode logic, and signal shaping to properly bound the performance within all areas of the flight envelope
• Work with flight simulation and Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) software engineers to incorporate control laws into the operational flight program
• Support flight simulations including desktop, software, and real time simulations
• Support hardware in the loop development and testing
• Support flight testing planning and execution
• Participate in design reviews, analyses, simulations and component/system testing to ensure delivery of products that meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations
