Requirements

• Bachelor's in a related field (e.g., Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering) degree. *Experience may be substituted for education with customer approval.

• 15 years of relevant experience.

• Senior-level expertise in inertial GN&C systems is essential, with demonstrated experience in the design, testing, and analysis of strategic-grade systems.

• Expertise in performing comprehensive accuracy analysis on complex GN&C systems, including:

• Understanding of error propagation and its impact on overall system accuracy.

• Ability to derive and apply statistical methods to quantify GN&C performance and identify error sources from collected GN&C test data.

• Analyzing pre-flight predictions versus post-flight performance to assess GN&C system accuracy and identify discrepancies.

• Proven experience in supporting guidance related tests, inertial performance testing, and subsystem qualification, including the development and implementation of enhanced ground test campaigns designed to tease out subtle errors and inform error models.

• Experience with test design and inertial instruments needed to ensure targeted data points can be collected and isolated properly.

• Experience with strategic-grade inertial navigation instruments, including experience in their calibration, alignment, and performance characterization under various environmental conditions.

• Familiarity with the role of real-time simulators in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) testing.

• Familiarity with ICBM missile systems and related subsystems/equipment, their projected use in the military, and methods of testing.

• Familiarity with test & evaluation planning and processes - test conduct, data analysis/evaluation, modeling and simulation, technical report preparation, and administrative aspects of ground and flight test programs.

Security Clearance

• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance.

Desired Experience

• Bachelors, Masters or PhD
• Senior or Subject Matter Expert level experience and background related to ICBM GN&C.
• Experience working with DoD organizations, test organizations, and/or prime contractors is highly desirable.

Other Essential Job Functions

• Must be willing to travel up to 15%.
• Ability to support a hybrid work schedule, proactively maintaining communication with teammates and working in-office as required.
• Focused adherence to safety and security requirements.
