About the Role: 

As a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer, you'll leverage your expertise in aircraft and system dynamics, simulation, estimation and control theory, and autonomy to craft safety-critical solutions to enable highly-reliable operations of self-flying aircraft in diverse operating environments.

What You’ll Do: 

  • Create innovative, reliable, and efficient GNC solutions to enable new and challenging aircraft capabilities.
  • Have ownership and cognisance of GNC systems throughout the complete development lifecycle, from initial idea to system deployment in business operations.
  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure high level performance goals are met and business objectives are achieved.
  • Perform detailed GNC analyses of system designs, analyze research and development test data, communicate these results to the Wing team.
  • Support of development and execution of GNC system integration and test efforts, including flight test.

What You’ll Need: 

  • M.S in Controls Engineering (or similar) or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience in GNC technology and product development, deployment and transition into full rate production.
  • Technical depth in at least one of the following areas: aircraft dynamics and control, multi-modal sensor fusion, INS/GPS navigation system development, UAV path planning algorithms, and/or GNC simulation and data analysis.
  • Experience with Matlab, C++, and/or Python
  • Familiarity with real-time embedded platforms
  • Familiarity with aircraft dynamics, stability and control fundamentals
  • Practical lab experience

Bonus: 

  • Passion for aviation, drones, or related technologies
  • Experience developing your own side projects with ideas you’re passionate about
  • Experience with fault-tolerant flight control systems and contingency management
  • Experience with flight dynamics modeling, system identification, and/or simulation with very large scale data analysis.
  • Experience in developing flight critical and safety critical UAV GNC solutions
  • Experience in bringing a UAV GNC solution to certification by an aviation regulatory agency
