Missile Navigation Control Engineering Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Standard Job Description About the Role: Lockheed Martin Space is seeking afull-time Guidance, Navigation, and Control Engineer. In this role,the candidatewill perform duties ofmission analysis, flight dynamics,test analysis support, requirements verification,andsystem design. The candidate will develop solutions tocomplextechnical problems whileensuringsound technical content andtimelyresolution.

The successful candidate will have experience and/or knowledge of flight dynamics,inertial measurement units, navigation basics, trajectory simulation techniques,Kalman filter development,as well asutilizingMATLAB for data analysis.Must be a US Citizen;this position will require a government security clearance. Successful applicants will generally possess minimal or junior level related work experience, if any, and may have a post-secondary degree or training in a related discipline.Designs, develops, implements, verifies and tests algorithms to perform guidance, navigation and control of aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles and upper stages during powered and coast phases of flight, earth orbit, interplanetary cruise and orbital insertion, as well as during staging events. Navigation functions include the statistical processing of measured data points and their substitution into algorithms simulating physical reality

Guidance functions include the formulation of specific equations and control laws to achieve a desired position in space. Control design and analyses processes consist of the development of the control requirements for aircraft, launch vehicles and/or spacecraft.
