What is the difference between Entry Level Gnc Engineer vs Entry Level Mechanical Engineer?
| Aspect | Entry Level Gnc Engineer | Entry Level Mechanical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering; knowledge of GNC systems | Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; fundamentals of mechanics and design |
| Work Environment | Design, testing, and integration of guidance, navigation, and control systems in aerospace or defense industries | Design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems across various industries |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Primarily aerospace, defense, and space sectors | Manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and energy sectors |
Entry Level Gnc Engineers focus on guidance, navigation, and control systems within aerospace and defense industries, requiring specialized knowledge in these areas. In contrast, Entry Level Mechanical Engineers work on mechanical systems across diverse industries, emphasizing mechanics and design. Both roles typically require a bachelor's degree but differ in industry focus and technical expertise.

Job description
Company:
The Boeing CompanyBoeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking a Entry-Level Guidance, Navigation & Control Engineer to join the Flying Qualities and Autonomy Technology Group as part of the Vertical Lift Division located in Ridley Park, PA.
We participate in all phases of design and testing, and support all of Boeing's vertical lift aircraft, including the Apache, AH-6, Chinook, MH-139, V-22 Osprey, and other developmental aircraft.
Position Responsibilities:
Analyze air vehicle stability and control characteristics to ensure acceptable handling qualities in compliance with specifications.
Apply control theory to the design of control laws that achieve desired characteristics for dynamic control response, gust or disturbance rejection, system failure robustness, and loads considerations.
Develop and validate linear and nonlinear mathematical analysis and simulation models of air vehicle and subsystems using theory and test data, including wind tunnel and flight test.
Support the design of new and modified rotorcraft configurations from a stability, control, and handling qualities perspective.
Perform wind tunnel testing, pilot-in-the-loop flight simulation, hardware in the loop laboratory testing, and flight testing in support of vehicle design and analysis.
Apply tools such as Matlab/Simulink and other modern and legacy programing languages in both Windows and Unix-based environments.
Collaborate with test pilots and with engineers in other engineering disciplines such as aerodynamics, dynamics, avionics systems, structural design, and crew systems design, to optimize vehicle level characteristics.
Occasional travel to support flight testing at off-site locations. These test sites could include cold weather sites, high altitude sites, or ships at sea.
Ability to work flexible hours, including overtime and occasional weekends when necessary to support test activities. (Note: These unique support requirements are infrequent, but possible)
This position is expected to be 100% on-site at the Ridley Park, PA location.
