Guidance Nav & Control Engineer 6

This posting is for a contract assignment and is not a full-time employment offer with Boeing. Candidates selected for roles will be employed as contract workers through a Boeing approved 3rd party for the duration of the specified project. Regular and predictable attendance is required
Work statement is a non-managerial role, non-leadership role. Boeing Defense, Space & Security's Experimental Systems Group (ESG) is hiring GN&C Engineers to rapidly prototype, develop, and field novel space and hypersonic capabilities.

ESG delivers first-of-kind solutions for customers in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment, including the X-37B, the world's first fully autonomous, reusable spaceplane. You will design GN&C algorithms, build high fidelity simulations, implement and test flight software, and support integration and flight test in both atmospheric and space environments.

Key Responsibilities
Design, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for spacecraft, re-entry vehicles, and hypersonic/airborne platforms. 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.

Apply aerodynamics, atmospheric flight mechanics, and controls knowledge to support the design of re-entry guidance, navigation, and flight control functions. Develop powered and unpowered guidance laws and autonomy tools for on orbit and atmospheric 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 (systems engineering, avionics, test, and business development) and communicate technical tradeoffs to stakeholders. Independently identify inefficiencies, propose solutions, and implement reusable tools and automations.

Required Skills
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement 5+ years of related work experience (Ex.

PhD, Master's + 3 or more years' related work experience)
Engineering experience with aircraft, missile, spacecraft, autonomous platform or similar vehicles
Proficiency with MATLAB and Simulink
Proficiency developing GN&C algorithms, models and simulations
Experience developing with C/C++, Python or C#.

Active Tier 5 (T5) Clearance, formerly known as Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) is Preferred
Preferred Skills
Degree in aerospace/aeronautical engineering (BS/MS/PhD)
10+ years related technical experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience
Experience with spacecraft operations, space environment effects, or hypersonic re entry GN&C
Familiarity with state estimation and sensor fusion (e.g., Kalman filters), GPS/INS, or air data systems
Background in classical and modern control theory and nonlinear control design
Model based development experience and flight test support.

Prior work on space or hypersonic programs
Ability to work effectively in broad, minimally defined design spaces and to communicate technical results clearly.
