Job description

SAIC is seeking a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) Modeling and Simulation Aerospace Engineer to support hypersonic weapon systems development in Crane, IN. As a critical member of our team, you will help design, model, and validate GN&C systems for hypersonic weapons, with a focus on simulation development, algorithm design, and performance analysis in a mission-critical environment. Your work will directly contribute to optimizing weapon system performance in high-speed and harsh environments.

NOTE: This is a hybrid position requiring the candidate to be in office 1-4 times per week.

JOB RESPONSIBLITIES:

  • Develop, implement, and refine GNC algorithms for guidance, control, and navigation
  • Support hypersonic weapon system modeling and simulation, including 6 DOF (six degrees of freedom) simulations
  • Perform trajectory analysis, mission performance evaluations, and control system stability assessments
  • Analyze telemetry, flight test data, and HWIL/SIL outputs to validate system performance
  • Conduct Monte Carlo analysis, uncertainty modeling, and system performance sensitivity studies
  • Evaluate system performance in complex scenarios and environments and verify system and subsystem level requirements
  • Support requirements decomposition, interface definition, and subsystem integration with system engineering teams
  • Document models, test results, algorithm behavior, and performance in technical reports and presentations
  • Participate in technical reviews, design sessions, and engineering working groups with government and contractor personnel
SAIC is a premier mission integrator focused on advancing the power of technology and innovation to serve and protect our world. Our robust portfolio of offerings across the defense, space, intelligence, and civilian markets includes secure high-end solutions in mission IT, enterprise IT, engineering services, and professional services. We integrate emerging technology, rapidly and securely, into mission critical operations that modernize and enable critical national imperatives.

REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline (Master's preferred)
  • 3+ years' experience in GNC engineering, missile guidance, flight controls, or related system modeling
  • Interim clearance required with the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance at the Secret level.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, FORTRAN or equivalent simulation frameworks/programming languages
  • Candidate must have demonstrated the ability to perform one or more of the following Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) or Modeling and Simulation (M&S) assignments based on completed course work or professional experience:
  • Develop and analyze algorithms such as guidance, navigation, autopilot, inertial tracking, and servo control algorithms
  • Develop and/or verify/validate complex vehicle models and simulations such as missile 6-degree-of-freedom simulations
  • Demonstrate strong math skills in the areas of linear algebra, matrix math, statistics, trigonometry, and coordinate transformations

PREFFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Familiarity with hardware in the loop (HWIL) or software in the loop (SIL) environments
  • Experience supporting missile systems, unmanned systems, or weapons/flight dynamics programs
  • Experience supporting DoD/DoW Weapons Systems
  • Experience with aerospace flight test data analysis or guidance verification
  • Current active Secret clearance
