ABOUT THE JOBYou will own navigation, guidance, and control for a maritime autonomous vehicle. Reporting to the Cognitive Systems Lead, you will lead a team covering inertial navigation, safe navigation systems, and actuation control software. You will define how the vehicle knows where it is, where it needs to go, and how it gets there across GPS-denied ocean environments.
Your spectrum of support will be diverse in nature and require you to leverage your technical expertise as well as leadership skills to set objectives, build cross-functional teams, and rapidly drive to completion. The ability to leverage your intuition and prior experience will be key in making sure the right design, analysis, and test steps are completed to ensure success. The ideal candidate will leverage their experience executing and successfully completing prior highly optimized multi-disciplinary projects.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Own GN&C architecture: inertial navigation, safe navigation, and actuation control software
- Lead INS integration and GPS-denied navigation solution development
- Drive Safe Navigation System design and safety certification approach
- Define actuation and control software requirements in coordination with body subsystem
- Manage navigation compute requirements and hardware selection
- Lead trade studies across navigation sensor suites and fusion approaches
- Lead and mentor IC3/4 engineers across GN&C sub-disciplines
- Interface with VMS, communications, and mission systems teams
- Support prototype integration, testing, and sea trials
- Travel up to 25% to test sites and customer locations
- Own GN&C architecture: inertial navigation, safe navigation, actuation control software, depth keeping and hover
- Lead trade studies across navigation sensor suites and fusion approaches, including make vs buy
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent
- 8+ years of experience in GN&C, inertial navigation, or vehicle control systems
- Experience with INS, Kalman filtering, or sensor fusion
- Familiarity with control system design for marine or aerospace vehicles
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS- Experience with AUV, UUV, or submarine navigation systems
- Working knowledge of GPS-denied navigation techniques (DVL, USBL, terrain-aided navigation)
- Experience with safety-critical navigation system design
- Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent modeling tools
- Experience in defense or maritime robotics
