Castelion is a pioneering defense technology company that is revolutionizing the way defense development and production are approached. Our innovative approach focuses on short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We are designing, building, and testing next-generation long-range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a decisive edge and deter future conflicts.
Job SummaryWe are seeking a highly skilled Senior Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineer to join our team at Castelion. As a GNC Engineer, you will be at the forefront of developing and refining the control systems that guide and control our advanced missile systems. You will be responsible for controlled flight of development vehicles, focusing on aerodynamically efficient flight paths. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, creating advanced flight control algorithms while validating simulation models through real-world testing.
Key Responsibilities- 6 DOF Simulations: Build, maintain, and run multi-DOF simulations for multi-stage vehicle flights. Implement the simulation models in Software in the Loop (SITL) systems and transition them to hardware environments. Build a validation workflow for each controller release and integrate with Hardware in the Loop (HITL) systems to test real-world expected performance.
- Aerodynamic Analysis: Estimate, generate, and calibrate aerodynamic tables and responses. Test and validate aerodynamic performance through flight tests, novel testing, and analytical CFD or Missile DATCOM.
- Electromechanical Actuators: Develop and characterize actuator simulation models based on test data. Specify performance requirements for sensors and mechanisms from a bottom-up approach. Quantify the impact of sensor and mechanism errors on overall performance.
- Roll-Pitch Controlled Single Stage Flights: Design and implement initial control systems to achieve roll-stabilized pitch controlled ballistic paths. Capture flight data to validate simulations and predict aerodynamic performance.
- Roll-Pitch Flight Path on Multi-Stage Vehicles: Expand controllers to multi-stage vehicle while ensuring stable and safe flight envelopes throughout all flight regimes.
- Simulations and Model Predictions: Build and utilize simulations to inform design trades. Specify bandwidth, slew rate, limits, and output sensor requirements for navigation and control.
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in GNC engineering or a similar role in the aerospace, defense, or missile systems industry.
