Guidance, Nav & Control Engineer, Sr - Orlando, FL

Lockheed Martin is seeking an experienced Guidance and Control (GNC) Engineer to join a highly skilled team of systems engineering technologists and algorithm developers supporting various contracts and IRADs within Missiles and Fire Control.

• Design, develop, and deploy embedded algorithms that perform inertial tracking, inertial navigation and/or sensor fusion.
• Develop, verify, and validate complex models and simulations that utilize match filters, convolutional neural networks, and other techniques to detect targets of interest.
• Evaluate system performance in complex scenarios and environments and verify system and subsystem level requirements.
• Perform critical studies, analyses, and test activities that support ground and flight test efforts including Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) activities.
• Participate in small teams on a variety of programs at different development stages.
• Support program reviews and technical interchange meetings with internal leadership and/or external customers.

• BS in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, computer science, applied mathematics, or similar STEM degree and 3+ years of relevant experience.
• Interim clearance required; must be a US citizen.
• Fluent in MATLAB, Python, and C++.
• Relevant experience or exposure to navigation algorithm development, including inertial navigation, strapdown navigation, attitude and velocity keeping, advanced GPS signal processing techniques, magnetic nav, star‑tracking, visual navigation, covariance analysis, transfer alignment, boresight/calibration modeling and estimation, inertial sensor selection and performance modeling.
• Relevant experience or exposure to inertial tracking algorithm development, including extended and unscented Kalman filtering, non‑linear state estimation, Gaussian mixture models, information filtering, particle filtering, multi‑hypothesis tracking, Bayesian inference, multi‑sensor fusion, passive sensing and stereo tracking, angle‑only tracking, feature‑aided tracking, image tracking, integrated multi‑model tracking, low‑SNR target tracking, inertial attitude and line‑of‑sight estimation, contextual data fusion, scene‑based event detection, supervised and unsupervised machine learning, object classification, kinematic and radiometric feature estimation, hypothesis testing, Monte Carlo methods.
• Experience implementing and debugging GNC algorithms running in a real‑time environment and processing instrumented real‑time system data.
• Proficiency in developing and validating C++ algorithm simulations and hardware models with real‑time data collections.

• Active Secret Clearance.
• Proficiency in MATLAB.
• Experience with linear algebra software packages.
• Strong programming skills that translate to C++ development in a Linux environment.
• Experience deploying algorithms that satisfy real‑time performance requirements.
• Knowledge of electro‑optical/infrared detection technology, optics, and radiometry principles.
• Familiarity with clutter rejection techniques.
• Knowledge and experience with modeling and simulation of EOIR systems.

This position requires a government security clearance; you must be a US citizen for consideration. Clearance Level: Secret with Investigation or CV date within 5 years.

This position is located in Orlando, FL and is onsite full‑time.

Work schedule:

4×10 hour day, 3 days off per week. Shift: First.
