Tittle : Associate GNC Engineer - Tracking & Estimation
Work Location: Onsite in Chandler, AZ
Duration: 12 months
Terms: W2 Contract
Work Authorization: ; must hold an active/current Secret security clearance
Job Description
Our Client is seeking a Guidance Navigation Control Engineer II for an opportunity with our client in the Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing industry.
Position Summary:

In this role, you will help develop and evaluate guidance, navigation, and control systems for advanced aerospace applications, with a focus on seeker‐based missile engagements and precision intercept performance.
You will apply mathematical models, control theory, and state estimation techniques to design and analyze algorithms that process seeker measurements and drive guidance and control laws.
Your work will include building and maintaining six-degree-of-freedom (6‐DOF) simulations, integrating hardware and software components, and performing detailed performance assessments to ensure system reliability and mission success.
You will work closely with experienced engineers to grow your expertise in seeker modeling, tracking algorithms, and advanced GNC techniques.

Responsibilities:

Designing, developing, implementing, verifying, and testing high‐quality flight and simulation software; developing and maintaining 6‐DOF simulations to design, analyze, and test flight algorithms and code; optimizing flight and simulation software for performance, robustness, and maintainability; and using trajectory optimization and analysis tools to evaluate mission performance and GNC designs.
This position is contingent upon obtaining and maintaining required program access(es), within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the company.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree with 2 years of professional experience, or a Master’s degree with 0 years of professional experience, in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Must have an existing U.S. Government security clearance at the Secret level.
Experience with guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) concepts, algorithms, or analysis.
Experience with one or more of the following: MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or similar technical software tools, with development in a Linux environment.
Experience supporting development, modeling, simulation, test, integration, or analysis of aerospace, missile, spacecraft, or autonomous systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Strong foundation in control systems theory and guidance law development.
Experience with state estimation and nonlinear filtering (e.g., Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter, Unscented Kalman Filter).
Domain knowledge in target tracking and seeker systems (infrared and/or radio frequency).
Experience developing and validating target dynamics and measurement models.
Experience with seeker measurements such as angle‐only measurements, line‐of‐sight (LOS) rate estimation, pixel/centroid‐based measurements for infrared seekers, and/or range, range‐rate (Doppler), azimuth/elevation, and angle‐only tracking for RF seekers.
Familiarity with tracking concepts such as data association, track initiation and maintenance logic, and multi‐target tracking in the presence of false alarms and clutter.
Proficiency in C/C++ and Python and experience with software development tools such as Jira in a Linux environment.
