- Develop and execute operational concepts for GNC systems in mission or test environments
- Monitor vehicle performance and make time-critical recommendations during dynamic operations
- Support anomaly resolution, fault response strategies, and contingency planning
- Requirements, Tools & Procedures
- Define system and console requirements for monitoring and commanding GNC subsystems
- Develop operator displays, telemetry utilization strategies, and command interfaces
- Maintain flight rules, procedures, and operational documentation
- Testing & Validation
- Support system-level testing (integrated labs, simulations, hardware-in-the-loop environments)
- Participate in verification of telemetry, command pathways, and system responses
- Contribute to development and validation of contingency commanding capabilities
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (advanced degree preferred) and 10+ years of experience
