Remote Matlab Jobs in Olney, MD (NOW HIRING)

TSC is seeking a remote based Guidance, Navigation, Controls (GNC) Engineer that will design, integrate, test, and deliver flight control systems or mission-critical onboard software for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The ideal candidate will have experience in UAS Guidance, Navigation, & Control (GNC) utilizing inertial navigation, vision, collision avoidance, commercial autopilots, redundancy management and path planning architecture. The GNC Engineer will participate hands-on in the full software life cycle, from concept through implementation, integration to flight test and operational release. This will be a remote based position with up to 25% travel required.

AsaGNCEngineer you can anticipate some of your day-to-day responsibilities to include:

• Work on a team to develop, modify and tuneguidance andcontrol systems for fixed wing aircraft
• Work on a team to develop, modify and tune navigation systems based on sensor fusion of 6-DOF IMU, magnetometer, GNSS, pressure andrangingsensors.
• Work on a team to develop and modify 6-DOF and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation environments
• Simulation, analysis, control, and testing on 6 degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion platform for development and validation of autonomous UAS.
• Work on a team to design and develop flight or mission-critical onboard software for unmanned systems
• Aid development for unmanned aerospace includes guidance, navigation & control, mission sequencing, payload control, redundancy and contingency management, uplink and downlink packet encoding and decoding, converting between different serial protocols, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, ground-based GUIs, and aircraft subsystem control (i.e., payload, electrical systems)
• Embedded Software development (C/C++, Python, shell scripts)

Writing/modifyingsoftware to adjust flight behaviors:

• Usedevelopmenttools such as: JIRA, git, C/C++,CMake, Linux,MATLAB
• Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary software team on large, multi-language projects
• Participating in code reviews, Flight Testing, and Customer Presentations
• Bench test, Hardware-in-the-loop,and field testing of UAS platforms
• Local, interstate, and international travel to support field testing and customer demonstrations. Expected travel is ~10-25%.
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (Systems, Software, Mechanical, Electrical) in planning, design and development of systems to ensure software and hardware performance and compatibility
• Design software architecture, interfaces, and gateways for communication with external Autonomy software services. Implement functionality using a model-based approach.
• Software verification and validation including writing Test Cases and Test Procedures
• Develop, implement, and document data and software application test plans to validate project deliverables meet quality standards
• Oversee and support processes and procedures for existing data and reporting activities to support internal and external customer deliverables.
• Examples of specific deliverables include but are not limited to: recurring reports and analyses; data validation and documentation
• Interface and derive solutions in coordination with hardware design teams

Required Qualifications

• BS degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Aerospace, Controls engineering or other relevant discipline, plus at minimum 12 years of experience in a professional environment developing MATLAB / Simulink control systems with auto code experience; or MS in Controls or Aerospace Engineering plus 2 years' experience. Embedded code experience preferred.
• US Citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance
• Experience in developing physics based 6 DOF simulations, motion platforms.
• Experience developing with: Gazebo or similar simulation tools, MatlabMATLAB/Simulink, C, C++, Python
• Experience developing scripts to run batch processes
• Experience in data post processing from simulation or flight testing, report summary writing
• Experience developing guidance and autonomy algorithms required; in denied environments preferred

Preferred Experience

Minimum two years of demonstrated, hands-on professional experience in at least one (ideally a combination) of the following areas:

• Model-based design and/or test using the Simulink/Stateflow tool chain.
• Software development in a relevant subject matter area: Aircraft Guidance Navigation & Control or other robotic system guidance, navigation and control; ground- or airborne mission systems; general aerospace flight control or cockpit avionics systems; ground stations; payload control.
• Development/operations of hardware-in-the-loop simulators, conducting testing and troubleshooting of HW/SW interfaces.
• Familiarity with software configuration management tools, version control systems, defect tracking tools, and peer review required.
