Senior GNC Engineer — Missile Guidance & Control Systems

Synovix; Woodland (CA); Hybride; USD 122 000 - 214 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Synovix is seeking two experienced Guidance, Navigation, and Control Engineers to support an on-site missile and weapon systems program for a defense customer. The engineers will develop and assess guidance, navigation, control, estimation, and sensor-fusion solutions from early analysis through integration and test.

You will design and tune Kalman filters, evaluate flight dynamics, and implement autopilot functions, with MATLAB/Simulink trade studies and six-degree-of-freedom integration.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in GNC, estimation, controls, navigation, or flight dynamics.
• Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical engineering, applied math, physics, or related field.
• Strong foundation in dynamics, control theory, state estimation, numerical methods, and linear algebra.
• Hands-on MATLAB/Simulink development.
• Experience communicating results via technical docs and reviews.
• U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a security clearance if required.

Responsabilités

• Develop, analyze, and mature guidance, navigation, control, estimation, and sensor-fusion algorithms for missile and weapon system applications.
• Design and tune Kalman filter-based estimators, including extended or unscented approaches where appropriate.
• Develop and evaluate flight dynamics, navigation error models, autopilot functions, guidance laws, and control-system performance.
• Use MATLAB and Simulink for trade studies, sensitivity analyses, Monte Carlo assessments, and requirements verification; integrate with six-degree-of-freedom and hardware-in-the-loop environments.
• Analyze system performance, document recommendations, and support technical reviews; establish GNC architecture, lead trades, mentor engineers, and coordinate across systems, software, algorithms, modeling, hardware, and test teams.
