TheVehicle Systems Division (VSD) sits at the center of the ideas and data behind current and future systems supplying innovative research and development; technical evaluations during the acquisition process; conceptual and detailed design; assembly, integration, and test; and operational support.

Comprised primarily of highly trained mechanical and aerospace engineers, VSD provides national expertise in the areas of vehicle engineering; guidance, navigation, and controls; robotics; electro- mechanicaldevices; embedded systems; fluid mechanics; propulsion; thermal control; orbital mechanics; mechanisms; structures; structural dynamics; and dynamic environments.

TheElectromechanical Control Department (ECD) provides technical support in the areas of electromechanical control systems, control system hardware and algorithms used for spacecraft and launch vehicles, as well as terrestrial and aerial applications. We specialize in mission critical control sensor and actuator, including electric motors, gyroscopes and IMUs, accelerometers, gimbals, steering mirrors, encoders & resolvers, star trackers, GPS receivers, capacitive & inductive sensors, servo mechanism, reaction wheels, and thrust vector control actuators.

Asan Electromechanical Controls Engineer (Senior Member of Technical Staff - Guidance, Navigation & Control Engineering) in ECD, you will plan and conduct technical studies and experimental investigations to support customer programs, interacting with government customers, program management, and contractors.

Thisis a full-time, 100% onsite position based in El Segundo, CA.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Conducting technicalstudies which often involve evaluation, analysis, modeling, or simulation of controlsystems and their components

• Verifying contractor designs, approaches, and overall system performance

• Leading experimentalinvestigations in the Mechatronics Research Laboratory (managed by ECD) involving controller design and implementation, data reduction and visualization, sensor and actuator performance evaluation, and electro-optical systems calibration and alignment

• Communicating findings withgovernment customers, program management, and contractors on multiple programs as the technical authority, consultant, primary investigator, and/or project lead

WhatYou Need to be Successful

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor'sdegree in a STEM field

• 3years of applicable professional or educational experience

• Proficiencyin laboratory experimentation, test strategy development, experiment design, and integration and testing

• Experiencewith electronics, mechanical design, control systems, inertial sensors, and actuators applicable to spacecraft and/or launch vehicles

• Experienceperforming technical support in complex environments (multi-program, multi-agency) involving customers, program offices, engineering support, and contractors

• Proficiencyin tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, dSPACE, LabVIEW, SolidWorks, C/C++, Python

• Willingnessto occasionally travel and support customer needs, approximately 10% (as required)

• Thisposition requires ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. government. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.

HowYou Can Stand Out

Itwould be impressive if you have one or more of these:

• Advanceddegree in a STEM field

• Experience in areas such as: electromechanical interface development, GPS receiver testing and associated algorithms, space vehicle control electronics and avionics systems, electronic circuit design and analysis, laser communications and optics, signal processing and filtering, real-time software development

• Hardware expertise in sensors, actuators, and integrated systems, e.g., electric motors, rotational sensors, reaction wheels, and control moment gyros, etc.

• Familiaritywith launch vehicle and satellite payloads and control, their relationships to other subsystems, and to mission-level performance

• Active secret clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance, which is issuedby the U.S. government, is strongly preferred. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.
