Eglin Air Force Base, United States Leidos Full time
Aerospace Missile Systems Engineer

At Leidos, we are seeking an experienced Aerospace or Mechanical Engineer to join our team as a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) engineer. The ideal candidate will have expertise in modeling missile performance and experience in Six Degree of Freedom (6-DOF) simulation environments.

This is a technical engineering position that requires the ability to design and analyze advanced missiles with state-of-the-art control systems. You will work directly with US Government and prime contractors on the development of an advanced air-to-air and counter-hypersonics missile system.

We offer a collaborative and dynamic work environment where individual creativity is encouraged and continuous learning is valued. Our team operates in a small group setting, allowing for close relationships and mentorship from world-class experts. As part of this team, you will contribute to developing innovative solutions for DARPA, AFRL, and the Missile Defense Agency.

The successful candidate will have at least 4+ years' experience in industry and a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field. A Master's degree is preferred. Experience in creating missile system models and performing 6-DOF analysis with minimal supervision is required. Additionally, candidates should be able to grasp the big picture, identify, and perform system trade results showing the clear benefit of new technology.

Candidates should have significant MATLAB / Simulink and/or C++ missile modeling experience. Experience modeling divert and attitude control systems and associated controls will be given preference. Strong communication skills are also essential, as you will interact daily with customers, team members, and end users.

You will develop a clear understanding of customer goals and objectives and shape your work activities to satisfy them. Furthermore, you must present both verbal and written status on a regular basis and prepare manuscripts for publication at technical conferences and for professional journals.

We require recent and relevant experience with one or more of the following disciplines:
• Application of 6-DOF simulation environments to evaluate missile designs
• Autopilots/Control Systems – design and develop autopilots for aerodynamic- or DACS-controlled missiles
• MATLAB / Simulink – demonstrated experience in developing MATLAB / Simulink based control architectures, with the ability to integrate propulsion controls with missile or kill vehicle control logic
• Modeling of Seekers – experience in modeling the performance of EO/IR and RF seekers, including gimbaled seekers, conformal seekers, AESA-based seekers, and/or strap-down seekers

In addition to the above requirements, we prefer candidates with a Master's degree in a relevant field. Candidates with recent and relevant skills in scripting languages such as Python, SWIL/HWIL testing, familiarity with metrics such as NEZ, F-Pole, and other air-to-air combat metrics will be considered favorably. Understanding of and ability to apply seeker aperture effects such as radome aberration, aperture distortion due to heating, and other sources of seeker errors will also be beneficial.
