Standard Job Description: Designs, develops, implements, verifies and tests algorithms to perform guidance, navigation and control of aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles and upper stages during powered and coast phases of flight, earth orbit, interplanetary cruise and orbital insertion, as well as during staging events. Navigation functions include the statistical processing of measured data points and their substitution into algorithms simulating physical reality. Guidance functions include the formulation of specific equations and control laws to achieve a desired position in space. Control design and analyses processes consist of the development of the control requirements for aircraft, launch vehicles and/or spacecraft.

What You Will Be Doing: Representative areas of responsibility include performance analysis, generation of error budgets, hardware in the loop analysis, simulation modeling, fire control algorithm development, engage-ability analysis, development and refinement of guidance laws and autopilot algorithms, flight test support, seeker algorithm and truth modeling, and conducting trade studies. The GNC Engineer will support the integration, test, verification and validation of missile algorithms. As well as support system performance assessments and trade studies. The candidate will be responsible for pre-flightperformance prediction simulation runs as well as post-flight reconstruction including model verification and validation with collected flight test data. The candidate GNC Engineer should have experience with basic flight mechanics and equations of motion governing a six degree of freedom (6DOF) flight simulation and have strong problem-solving skills to identify and correct any unexplained artifacts in the simulation results or flight test data. Knowledge of statistical analysis methods of simulation data and data reduction methods, reporting and development of post-processing tools will be required. The candidate should have working knowledge of Linux shell, higher order languages (MATLAB, Python), with FORTRAN and/or C++ programming experience a plus. Experience using and tailoring post-run analysis scripts and tools is required. This role will require onsite support full-time at Lockheed Martin's Missiles and Fire Control headquarters in Grand Prairie, TX working a 4/10 Flex schedule. This position requires a DoD Secret clearance with an investigation within the last 5 years or currently in continuous evaluation. An initial Interim Secret clearance is required to start.

Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering or similar field of study- Proficient in C++, MATLAB, PYTHON and/or FORTRAN- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment- Experienced with Missile 6DOF simulation design and analysis- Ability to receive and maintain an active Secret security clearance Desired Skills- Strong Modeling and Simulation background- Strong experience in root cause analysis Pay Information Full-Time Salary Range: $81100.00 - $150500.00At Lockheed Martin, we know mission success starts with taking care of our people.
