The Processing, Guidance and Controls (PG&C) Center within the Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities (SE&TC) Directorate consists of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC), Signal Processing (SP) and Modeling and Simulation disciplines for Effectors. The PG&C Center is currently hiring for a Senior Systems Engineer - Flight Controls in Tucson, AZ. As the Senior Systems Engineer - Flight Controls , you will play a critical role in helping with the evaluation, design, implementation, and integration of embedded flight control software algorithms.

You will collaborate with a team of engineers in an integrated product team that will be responsible for tactical embedded software, firmware, and integrated flight software 6 Degrees-of-Freedom (6

DoF) simulations to achieve overall system performance requirements. What You Will Do
* The Senior Systems Engineer - Flight Controls Engineer will apply knowledge of advanced control techniques, air vehicle dynamics and flight control, inertial sensors, and analysis of missile performance in simulation, ground test, and flight test.

* In this role, you will develop solutions to complex problems that require application of advanced technical principles. You will be depended on for uncovering and resolving issues associated with development and implementation of flight control system designs.

* You will guide the successful completion of significant program efforts from planning to execution and represent the organization as an embedded authority on program efforts within the field of flight controls.

* You will develop flight control system architectures and requirements, implement advanced control laws to maximize performance and robustness, and program algorithms in higher order compiled computer languages.

* You will develop missile state estimation algorithms and derive advanced algorithms and filters to compensate for flexible body dynamics, aeroservoelasticity effects, and inertial coupling. Qualifications You Must Have
* Typically requires a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related STEM degree and a minimum of 5 years prior relevant experience in air vehicle flight control design and analysis

* Course work, independent research, and/or work experience that includes a combination of at least two of the following: classical and modern control system design techniques, modeling of system dynamics, and state estimation

* Experience developing or modifying code in higher level compiled languages such as Fortran, Ada, and/or C++

* Experience with MATLAB and/or Simulink

* Ability to obtain an Interim Secret U.S. government issued Security Clearance is required prior to start date with the ability to obtain special program access after start Qualifications We Prefer
* Current and active Secret or above level Security Clearance

* Master's or PhD Degree in an Engineering discipline, Computer Science, Math or Physics

* Demonstrated ability to take an air vehicle autopilot from concept design to flight

* Experience with embedded software development and hardware/software integration

* Research and/or applied experience in advanced control design techniques in areas such as nonlinear, robust, optimal, adaptive, fault-tolerant, and real-time control

* Air vehicle autopilot design…
