## Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

As a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in driving the design, development, testing, and implementation of cutting-edge flight system technologies for aerospace systems.

## Responsibilities

- Lead navigation system design for one or more Anduril products, cradle-to-grave ownership.

- Analyze and help develop mission requirements and constraints across the Anduril product portfolio to determine optimal navigation system architecture.

- Support and drive the evaluation and integration of advanced alternative navigation aiding sources.

- Support flight testing to measure and validate navigation performance relative to mission requirements and troubleshoot testing and operational anomalies.

- Perform trade studies, modeling, simulation and other forms of analysis to validate algorithm and navigation stack accuracy, robustness, and performance.

- Conduct simulation and testing for validation of navigation algorithms and system performance.

- Collect and analyze platform telemetry data to validate platform operation and performance.

- Support the design, development, integration and testing of an inertial navigation systems (INS) for aerospace vehicles.

- Use and update Anduril's existing navigation filters, models, and simulations to improve navigation performance.

- Support and drive the development of algorithms for navigation, guidance, and control systems.

- Support and drive the development of advanced sensor fusion algorithms leveraging INS, GNSS, cameras, LiDAR, and other sensors.

- Apply covariance analysis techniques for early requirements derivation, as well as to optimize navigation system performance, error modeling, and system uncertainty assessments.

- Improve calibration procedures for sensor suites used in aerospace navigation systems.

- Collaborate with GNC, Flight Software, MSA, T&E, product leadership, and other multidisciplinary teams to integrate navigation software and hardware into real-world flight systems.

## Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.

- Strong bias for action, ability to thrive in uncertainty, and desire to closely collaborate cross-functionally with other teams.

- Proficiency in MATLAB & Simulink, C/C++.

- Strong knowledge of navigation principles, including inertial navigation, GPS.

- Experience characterizing, integrating, and testing inertial and non-inertial sensing modalities.

- Experience with navigation system design, development and testing on aerospace systems.

- Expertise in Kalman filtering, Extended Kalman filtering, and other estimation techniques.

- Experience with real-time systems and embedded software development.

- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

- General knowledge of guidance and flight control systems.

- Experience optimizing and tuning navigation system performance, error modeling, and system uncertainty assessments, and requirements methods.

- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret clearance.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Autonomous air, ground or undersea vehicle navigation experience.

- Strong software and hardware integration background.

- Experience adapting and applying real-time pose localization algorithms.

- Experience with 6-DOF vehicle simulation.

- GNSS receiver and antenna integration experience.

- Current eligibility at the Top Secret level preferred.
