• Participate in design reviews, analyses, simulations and component/system testing to ensure delivery of products that meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations.

• Assist in defining Guidance, Navigation and Control mission requirements and ensure requirements traceability and quality from the system level to component level.

• Use multidisciplinary model data (aero, mass properties, propulsion, etc.) to develop and refine a complex, nonlinear, 6 degrees of freedom simulation model.

• Support design of flight control laws using modern linear control design techniques and tools to achieve design and performance targets.

• Use advanced nonlinear analysis to assess and refine the control law design.

• Perform model validation against test data to inform and improve the accuracy of the simulation environment.

• Develop supplementary controllers, limiters, mode logic, and signal shaping to properly bound the performance within all areas of the flight envelope.

• Work with flight simulation and Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) software engineers to incorporate control laws into the operational flight program.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.
