...

Level: Senior - Scientific Algorithm Developer Discipline: Software Developer

High Title: Guidance, Navigation, and Control Analyst for Instrument Modeling and Simulation

We are looking for a Guidance, Navigation, and Control Analyst for Instrument Modeling and Simulation to support exciting projects.

Security Clearance Type: Active TS/SCI clearance Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

High-Fidelity Modeling: Maintain, modify, and develop high-fidelity behavioral simulations of electromechanical actuators and sensors.

Model Validation: Tune and validate simulations against actual testbed data to ensure physical accuracy.

Risk Reduction & Requirements: Utilize high-fidelity models to conduct risk reduction activities and establish technical requirements for future versions of mechanisms.

System Integration: Create and maintain low-fidelity "surrogate" models that approximate actuator behavior for use in larger, integrated system simulations.

Study Support: Execute rapid-turnaround tasks (2–3 week cycles) to support sponsor-driven studies, delivering results via plots and presentations.

Simulation Maintenance: Provide ongoing maintenance and updates to the project’s primary simulation environment to ensure stability for other project stakeholders.

Vendor Technical Integration: Participate in vendor meetings and technical reviews to absorb critical design information, ensuring that behavioral models accurately reflect external hardware and software specifications.

Education / Work Experience: Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related STEM degree and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience.

Expert-level proficiency in Matlab and Simulink.

Familiarity with signal processing.

Ability to create and maintain behavioral models that capture the critical aspects of complex electromechanical systems in a manner that is transparent, understandable, and modifiable for other team members.

Communication: Demonstrated ability to communicate technical results through high-quality visualization (plots) and professional presentations.

Experience with high-bandwidth mechatronics and dynamics.

Experience in the research and development of precision pointing systems.  Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and pivot quickly between different technical tasks.

Experience working directly with external vendors and hardware suppliers.

Ability to adapt to diverse vendor-delivered simulation environments and data formats, with the flexibility to operate within varied external workflows.

Familiarity with the transition from high-fidelity research models to low-fidelity flight/system models.
