We are looking for a Senior GNC Engineer to shape a new interceptor from first concept through flight test. You will join the core missile design team taking ownership of guidance or control and helping shape the vehicle GNC architecture. Your work will influence systems and airframe design and directly determine interceptor performance across demanding flight regimes.

• Shape the interceptor concept through GNC trades influencing airframe and systems design
• Own guidance and/or flight control law design from concept through flight test
• Develop and evaluate guidance strategies and engagement algorithms for high-dynamic interception scenarios
• Design flight control laws across subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimes
• Plan and support simulation campaigns, ground tests, and flight trials
