Guidance Associate Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Company:

Boeing Defense, Space & Security's Experimental Systems Group (ESG) is hiring GN&C Engineers across Associate, and Experienced levels to rapidly prototype, develop, and field novel space and hypersonic capabilities. ESG delivers first-of-kind solutions for customers in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment, including the X-37B, the world's first fully autonomous, reusable spaceplane. You will design GN&C algorithms, build highfidelity simulations, implement and test flight software, and support integration and flight test in both atmospheric and space environments. Career growth opportunities are available for candidates with a passion for spacecraft or aircraft GN&C.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for spacecraft, re-entry vehicles, and hypersonic/airborne platforms.

• Develop and maintain 6DOF dynamics simulations and associated analysis tools for mission and performance assessment.

• Implement and validate GN&C flight software (MATLAB/Simulink models and C/C++ prototypes) and integrate with testbeds and avionics.

• Apply astrodynamics and flight mechanics to mission design, novel orbit concepts, and trajectory optimization.

• Apply aerodynamics, atmospheric flight mechanics, and controls knowledge to support the design of re-entry guidance, navigation, and flight control functions

• Develop powered and unpowered guidance laws and autonomy tools for onorbit and atmospheric operations.

• Support troubleshooting of operational anomalies, functional tests, and service incidents.

• Produce concepts of operations, simulation artifacts, and test procedures to enable rapid iteration from prototype to flight test.

• Collaborate with crossfunctional teams (systems engineering, avionics, test, and business development) and communicate technical tradeoffs to stakeholders.

• Independently identify inefficiencies, propose solutions, and implement reusable tools and automations.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement

• 2+ years of engineering experience or a Masters Degree

• Engineering experience with aircraft, missile, spacecraft, autonomous platform or similar vehicles

• Experience using MATLAB and Simulink

• Experience developing GN&C algorithms, models and simulations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to work effectively in broad, minimally defined design spaces and to communicate technical results clearly

• 5+ years related technical experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience

• Active Tier 5 (T5) Clearance, formerly known as Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) is Preferred

• Experience with spacecraft operations, space environment effects, or hypersonic reentry GN&C

• Programming experience in C/C++ or comparable languages sufficient to implement and test GN&C algorithms

• Familiarity with state estimation and sensor fusion (e.g., Kalman filters), GPS/INS, or air data systems

• Background in classical and modern control theory and nonlinear control design

• Modelbased development experience and flight test support.
