Autonomy & Guidance Systems Engineer II

RTX; Miami (FL); On-site; USD 76,000 - 144,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Relocation assistance

Job summary

RTX's PG&C Center in Tucson, AZ is hiring Systems Engineer II to develop and validate control and navigation algorithms for autonomous systems. This onsite role requires a DoD Secret clearance and active citizenship.

You will collaborate across mechanical, electrical, software, and test teams to implement robust models, simulations, and performance analyses for next-gen defense technologies. The position emphasizes modeling, testing, and data-driven improvements, with opportunities to travel

Qualifications

• Typically requires a degree in Engineering, Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related STEM degree and a minimum of 2 years prior relevant experience.
• Engineering experience in at least one of the following areas: Guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems; Navigation sensors, state estimation, and/or perception systems; Guidance and control algorithms; System modeling and simulation; Parameter tuning and validation; Test data and/or data logging analysis and system performance; Root-cause analysis, debugging, trouble shooting, and performance analysis; Real-time guidance, navigation, and control software; Integrated guidance and control system development; Mission performance (accuracy, range, lethality, reliability).
• Experience with MATLAB, Python, C, C++, and/or Object-Oriented design
• Ability to obtain an Interim Secret U.S. government issued Security Clearance is required prior to start date with the ability to obtain special program access after start. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Develop, simulate, and evaluate control and navigation algorithms for complex, autonomous systems; apply model-based design, simulation, and test data to improve system performance.
• Build and use dynamic system models and simulations to evaluate system behavior, conduct design trades and reduce development test cycles.
• Analyze test data to evaluate system performance, identify issues, and drive engineering improvements.
• Work cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, software, systems, and test teams to integrate and validate complex systems.
• Experience developing algorithms, system models, simulation tools, controls, signal processing or performance-analysis solutions for complex products.
