Inertial Navigation Engineer information

What does an inertial navigation engineer do?

An Inertial Navigation Engineer specializes in designing, developing, and maintaining systems that use accelerometers and gyroscopes to determine the position, orientation, and velocity of moving objects without relying on external references. These engineers work on technologies used in aircraft, spacecraft, submarines, and autonomous vehicles. Their responsibilities include creating algorithms for sensor data processing, testing navigation systems, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure accuracy and reliability in challenging environments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an inertial navigation engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Inertial Navigation Engineer, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, physics, or a related field, with expertise in navigation algorithms and sensor fusion. Familiarity with tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, Kalman filters, and inertial measurement units (IMUs), as well as experience with embedded systems and programming languages like C/C++, is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex technical information clearly are vital soft skills. These competencies are critical to developing accurate, reliable navigation systems for applications in aerospace, defense, and autonomous vehicles.

How does an inertial navigation engineer typically collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams during the development of navigation systems?

As an Inertial Navigation Engineer, you will frequently work alongside hardware designers, software developers, and systems engineers to integrate inertial sensors into navigation solutions. Collaboration often involves participating in design reviews, troubleshooting integration issues, and ensuring that sensor data is accurately interpreted by system algorithms. Clear communication and teamwork are essential, as you'll be translating complex technical requirements and results between different specialties to ensure the overall reliability and performance of the navigation system.

What is the difference between Inertial Navigation Engineer vs GPS Navigation Engineer?

AspectInertial Navigation EngineerGPS Navigation Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Engineering, specialized in inertial systemsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, aerospace, defense, autonomous vehiclesNavigation systems development, mapping, mobile devices, automotive
Industry UsageMilitary, aerospace, autonomous systemsConsumer electronics, automotive, outdoor navigation
Comparison Search IntentUnderstanding inertial vs satellite-based navigationDeveloping or improving GPS-based systems

Inertial Navigation Engineers focus on developing systems that use inertial sensors to determine position without external signals, ideal for environments where GPS signals are unavailable. GPS Navigation Engineers work on satellite-based positioning systems, common in consumer devices and automotive applications. Both roles require strong engineering backgrounds but differ in technology focus and application environments.

GNC M&S Engineer

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc.

Beavercreek, OH • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 10 days ago

Job description

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is a 100% employee-owned engineering services and solutions company that provides high-demand technical expertise in Digital Transformation, Modeling and Simulation, Rapid Capability Development, Test and Evaluation, Artificial Intelligence, Autonomy, Cybersecurity and Mission Assurance.
Job Description
Our government customers want assistance with guidance, navigation and control (GNC) subsystem modeling within their missile models. Specifically, they need our team to augment their GNC and seekers team by modeling and integrating subsystems, such as navigation systems, terminal sensors, and communication systems, within their Simulink-based modeling architecture; furthermore, our customers want to leverage our team's knowledge of navigation techniques, guidance algorithms, Kalman filters, communications, terminal sensing technologies, and sensor/track fusion algorithms. Additionally, our team must adhere to their modeling and simulation (M&S) standards. Also, our team will work directly with our customers to ensure a model satisfying their M&S standards and design goals. Lastly, our team must validate model performance against performance data including the authorship of a model performance report.
Required Experience and Knowledge:
  • Candidates should have at least three years of proven experience in GNC system analysis pertaining to algorithm development; inertial and satellite navigation technology; sensor fusion and integration techniques; and classical and modern controls.
  • Candidates should have knowledge of guidance and navigation techniques of various aerospace vehicles and an understanding of classical dynamics.
  • Candidates should have demonstrated skill sets in modeling, simulation, and analysis software such as MATLAB/Simulink and experience in at least one or more general purpose programming languages such as C, C++, and Python.
  • The candidate must be a motivated self-starter who is able to work both independently and in a collaborative team environment, often with minimal guidance.
  • The candidate must have sufficient communication skills in conveying complex technical issues and in providing comprehensive written, oral and/or digital products. The candidate must also have sufficient technical writing and presentation development skills.
  • The candidate must have good analytic skills and the ability to apply them in a multi-tasking environment where more than one project may require the candidate's participation at any given time (typically one primary project and one or two ancillary projects).

Minimal Qualifications:
  • 8 years of experience with development of 6DOF aerospace models.
  • Demonstrated conscientious and collaborative work habits to effectively augment our customers GNC team.

Desired Qualifications
  • A master's degree in either electrical or aerospace engineering with an emphasis on either control theory, modeling & simulation, or mathematical optimization of dynamic systems.
  • Specific experience with inertial instruments, inertial measurement units, and global satellite navigation systems and their use in navigation and guidance systems.
  • Specific experience in performing guidance and control error analysis.
  • Demonstrated experience with software developmental practices including version control (e.g. via git), test driven software development, and object-oriented programming.

Educational Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or a related field.

Clearance Requirements:
  • Applicants must have at least an active SECRET clearance.
  • Applicants should have an active TOP SECRET clearance with Sensitive Compartmentalized Information (SCI) eligibility.
  • U.S. Citizenship is required for most positions.
