Sr Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineer Security Clearance

Position: Sr Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineer with Security Clearance
Do you have an eye for detail and a passion for developing innovation solutions? Join our team! As a Senior Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) Engineer, you will serve as a technical authority in the design, development, and testing of cutting-edge GN&C systems. You will oversee multiple projects, drive innovation, and mentor engineering teams to ensure the success of aerospace systems.

The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation, it is a leading prime manned and unmanned aircraft systems integrator for innovative, high-performance ISR and aviation systems. Its end-to-end Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (C4

ISR) capabilities encompass design, integration, test, certification, ground/flight training and complete logistics support. IAS tailors solutions to customer cost, performance, and schedule requirements and designs to consistently exceed expectations - with an unrivaled record of on time and on (or under) budget deliveries.
