Other Technical Roles • Senior

Who you are

You have a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field, and you bring over 5 years of experience in Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC), Rendezvous, Proximity Operations (RPO), or trajectory optimization for aerospace applications. Your expertise includes developing and validating algorithms and simulation frameworks, particularly in the context of complex aerospace systems. You are skilled in using tools such as GPOPS and YAPPS for multi-segment trajectory optimization, and you understand the intricacies of multi-body dynamics and collision avoidance.

You are adept at integrating high-fidelity models into simulation environments, supporting both rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. Your collaborative spirit shines through as you work with multidisciplinary teams to define requirements, develop test plans, and deliver robust software solutions. You have experience in real-time software development, automatic code generation, and embedded hardware interface design, which allows you to contribute effectively to the development and maintenance of simulation infrastructure for both aerospace and undersea applications.

You are meticulous in documenting designs, performing code reviews, and supporting verification and validation activities, ensuring that all aspects of your work meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. Your strong analytical skills enable you to tackle complex problems and develop innovative solutions that drive project success.
