Experienced/senior Guidance Navigation and Control (gnc) Engineer

Boeing Boeing · Aerospace · Berkeley, MO

Boeing Defense, Space & Security is hiring an Experienced/Senior Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineer to join the Flight Systems Engineering Capability in Berkeley, MO. This role will support new product design, development, integration and flight test supporting the areas of flight control and subsystem control for the T-7A Red Hawk. Responsibilities include gathering and documenting GNC mission requirements, developing and refining simulation models, supporting flight control law design and analysis, developing supplementary controllers, and working with software engineers to incorporate control laws into the operational flight program. The role also involves supporting flight simulations, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and flight testing, as well as participating in design reviews and authoring engineering documentation. Basic qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering or science field and 5+ years of related experience. Preferred qualifications include Level 4 experience (9+ years), experience with system and component modeling, implementing algorithms in real-time systems, C/C# programming, advanced control systems courses, and experience with Matlab/Simulink or MatrixX.

What you'd actually do

  1. Gather, define and document Guidance, Navigation and Control mission requirements and ensure requirements traceability and quality from the system level to component level
  2. Use multidisciplinary model data (aero, mass properties, propulsion, etc.) to develop and refine a complex, nonlinear, 6 degrees of freedom simulation model
  3. Support design of flight control laws and tools to achieve design and performance targets
  4. Use advanced analysis to assess and refine the control law design
  5. Perform model validation against test data to inform and improve the accuracy of the simulation environment
