Job Description
Guidance, Navigation, Control Engineer – GNC
OKSI
• Target Tracking, Estimation & Fusion: Design and implement multi-target tracking pipelines for static and moving targets • Develop nonlinear estimators (EKF, UKF, IMM) for target state, relative geometry, and passive ranging solutions • Integrate multi-modal sensor fusion across EO, IR, and inertial sources; RF where the platform provides it • Own lock-on-after-launch (LOAL) logic: acquisition, track confirmation, and handoff into terminal guidance • Terminal Guidance & Seeker Algorithms: Build image-based ATD/ATR chains feeding closed-loop guidance • Develop and evaluate terminal guidance laws against miss distance, seeker field-of-view, and control authority constraints • Harden endgame performance in real-world conditions • GPS-Denied Navigation: Create visual-inertial navigation delivering drift-free, absolute positional awareness without GPS • Characterize, align, and calibrate INS/IMU systems on low-cost inertial hardware • Implement georegistration, photogrammetry, and map-matching approaches that bound inertial drift • Real-Time Software: Write modern, object-oriented C++ implementations of all algorithms • Prototype in Python or MATLAB, then carry it to flight-quality code • Simulation, Test & Analysis: Exercise algorithms in physics-based simulation environments • Run Monte Carlo and hardware-in-the-loop campaigns to validate performance • Support captive-carry and live flight test; own the anomaly investigation when telemetry disagrees with the model • Technical Leadership: Set the algorithm architecture and mentor engineers implementing alongside you • Engage directly with customers and partners: technical interchanges, live demos, proposals.
Job Requirements
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related field.
- 8+ years developing estimation, tracking, GNC, or seeker algorithms for aerospace or defense systems
- Proven expertise in nonlinear estimation (EKF, UKF, IMM or equivalent)
- Production experience with multi-target tracking, data association, and track management algorithms
- Proficiency in real-time C++ for embedded systems
- Experience with sensor fusion across multiple modalities (EO, IR, inertial, RF)
- Demonstrated capability shipping algorithm code to hardware under SWaP-C constraints
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage fully paid by the employer for employees
- Three weeks of vacation to start
- Automatic company contribution to 401K – 5% of earned wages (no matching required)
- Educational assistance and professional development opportunities
