Description
Boeing Defense, Space & Security's Experimental Systems Group (ESG) is seeking Guidance Navigation & Control Engineers (Senior or Principal) to join our team in Seal Beach or El Segundo, CA.
These positions involve designing, developing, and fielding novel space capabilities. You will create GN&C algorithms, build high-fidelity simulations, implement and test flight software, and support integration and flight testing in space environments.
Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for spacecraft
- Develop and maintain 6-DOF dynamics simulations and associated analysis tools for mission and performance assessment
- Implement and validate GN&C flight software (MATLAB/Simulink models and C/C++ prototypes) and integrate with testbeds and avionics
- Apply astrodynamics and flight mechanics to mission design, novel orbit concepts, and trajectory optimization
- Develop powered and unpowered guidance laws and autonomy tools for on-orbit operations
- Support troubleshooting of operational anomalies, functional tests, and service incidents
- Produce concepts of operations, simulation artifacts, and test procedures to enable rapid iteration from prototype to flight test
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate technical tradeoffs to stakeholders
- Independently identify inefficiencies, propose solutions, and implement reusable tools and automations
- Lead engineering project teams, mentor engineers, and advance job practices and techniques related to GN&C
Requirements:
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or equivalent qualifications
- Active Tier 5 (T5) Clearance, formerly known as Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI)
- 14+ years of related work experience or equivalent combination of education and experience
- Engineering experience with spacecraft
- Experience using MATLAB and Simulink
- Experience developing GN&C algorithms, models, and simulations
Benefits:
- Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities
- Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs, and paid time off
Pay Range:
- Senior (Level 5): $182,750.00 - $247,250.00
