Qualifications

• B.S. in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering.
• Applied industry experience and/or M.S. or Ph.D. focused on development of requirements, interfaces, trades and analyses for GN&C subsystems.
• Experience in modeling GN&C components, and analyzing performance of GN&C subsystem or components via simulation, testing, or analytical methods.
• Understands relationship between GN&C, vehicle sizing, and vehicle automation.
• Knowledge in control, navigation, and astrodynamics fundamentals.
• Experience in C/C++.
• Experience designing and evaluating Monte Carlo simulations, hardware-in-the-loop, and software-in-the-loop testing.
• Experienced in configuration and product data management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Support early feasibility studies, subsystem architecture development, definition of subsystem and component trade space, and concept of operations.
• Derive and develop subsystem requirements, perform analyses and trades to validate requirements, and maintain subsystem specification, budgets and performance metrics.
• Collaborate with other subsystems and spacecraft systems engineers to support define subsystem boundaries and interfaces.
• Support the definition, development, and execution of simulations and tools for verification of subsystem functionalities.
• Support verification and testing, ensuring the subsystem complies to its requirements.
• Developing and integrating multidisciplinary models for a multi-vehicle simulation using Simulink and C/C++.
