Boeing Defense, Space & Security’s Air Dominance division is hiring Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineers in St. Louis, MO area, (Hazelwood, MO).  Propelled by a team with an innovative spirit that transcends cultures, Air Dominance delivers decisive mission advantages through cutting-edge capabilities and supports design, manufacturing, and services for a broad portfolio of military aircraft.  These roles will support new product design, development, integration and flight test supporting the areas of guidance, modeling and simulation, flight control and subsystem control for the expanding Air Dominance Portfolio, including the newly awarded F-47.

Flight engineers are essential to the development, safety and success of our products and solutions. Each day, they go above and beyond to meet our customers’ overall mission requirements—from initial vehicle concept definition through design, test, validation and in-service support. Your expertise in areas such as Aerodynamics; Propulsion; Guidance, Navigation & Control; and Loads & Dynamics will drive the future of aerospace.

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Lead and Senior Level Guidance Navigation and Control (GN&C) Engineers.

Position Responsibilities:

• Define 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

• Use various software languages, C, C++, FORTRAN, Python, etc. to develop, implement, integrate and test vehicle models and controllers

• Design 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

• Support flight simulations including desktop, software, and real time simulations
