GNC Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Were building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods and eventually people move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) Modeling and Simulation Engineer you will develop the physics-based models that enable rapid iteration and certification-grade validation of GNC software. You will perform simulation analysis and assess correlation with real-world data to demonstrate that the models are representative of the actual system.

Responsibilities

• Develop physics-based models representative of aircraft dynamics (aerodynamics ground reactions actuator models etc.)
• Identify request and analyze flight tests necessary to inform modeling
• Conduct closed-loop testing of flight control systems with simulated aircraft dynamics
• Develop tools for visualizing and analyzing simulation and flight data
• Perform validation of simulation models against flight test data

Basic Success Criteria

Preferred Criteria

GNC Modeling and Simulation is a key company capability that enables rapid design iteration and scalable design validation covering the massive combinatorial space of flight envelope and atmospheric conditions. These tools are what allow us to fly with the confidence of more than 1000 : 1 simulation hours to flight hours and draw statistically significant conclusions on the systems safety and performance.
