At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage, and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity, and bringing your whole self to work.
Northrop Grumman's Space System is seeking to fill the position of
Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) engineer , located in
Dulles, Virginia . There is no option to telecommute in this position.
GNC is designing, building, and testing spacecraft subsystems for a mix of DoD, NASA, and commercial customers. We are leaders in innovative solutions to the rapidly growing/evolving fields of space-based autonomous rendezvous and docking and rapid design/production of small satellites. We are seeking a highly talented and ambitious engineer to take responsibility for the attitude control solutions that meet our spacecraft requirements.
A spacecraft GNC analysis engineer is expected to:
Support mission operations scripting, procedure development, rehearsals, and on-orbit execution of exercises.
Design, analyze, and tune spacecraft attitude and position control loops using time and frequency domain techniques.
Design, analyze, and tune sequential filters (e.g. Kalman filters) for attitude determination and relative navigation.
Design, develop, test, and verify flight algorithms for the GNC subsystem and support flight software qualification testing.
Analyze and test the spacecraft GNC subsystem performance using simulations and other analytic tools.
Perform analysis to support early design phase concept development including actuator sizing and placement, sensor selection and placement, and predicted performance assessments.
Develop simulation models for sensors, actuators, system dynamics, and the space environment.
Communication is a key element of your role and all GNC engineers are expected to:
Apply engineering principles, industry standards, company processes, and knowledge of vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion, classical/modern control, and estimation theory to perform tasks to advanced program/project goals.
Document designs, analysis, and test results and create presentation materials.
Present designs, analysis, and test results to internal and external customers.
Work well within small- to medium-sized groups.
This position can be filled at the Engineer or Principal level.
Basic Qualifications:
Engineer
BS Degree in Engineering, Physics, or Math with at least 2 years of professional experience (0 years with Masters, or 0 years with PhD). Experience can be considered in lieu of degree.
Direct spacecraft/satellite GNC experience performing design, analysis, HW and I&T, or (possibly) flight operations.
Must have an active Top Secret clearance at the time of application, preferably with SCI access.
Principal
BS Degree in Engineering, Physics, or Math with at least 5 years of professional experience (3 years with Masters, or 0 years with PhD). Experience can be considered in lieu of degree.
Direct spacecraft/satellite GNC experience performing design, analysis, HW and I&T, or (possibly) flight operations.
Must have an active Top Secret clearance at the time of application, preferably with SCI access.
Preferred Qualifications:
MS or PhD degree in engineering, physics, or math.
Minimum overall GPA of 3.25.
Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink and C/C++ Experience in spacecraft GNC subsystem design, analysis, and testing.
Experience implementing GNC algorithms on embedded systems.
Experience with RPO algorithms, practices, and planning strategies.
Prior work experience in related field.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, version control tools such as SVN or Git.
Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering, digital transformation tools such as the Atlassian suite.
Previous/current membership or leadership roles in professional groups, clubs, or extracurricular activities is desired.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
The Northrop Grumman Tactical Space Division is a strategic partner specializing in commercial and classified partnerships with the design, delivery, operation, and sustainment of satellites and human spacecraft.
