Lockheed Martin Space is seeking a full-time Guidance, Navigation, and Control Engineer. 

In this role, the candidate will perform duties of mission analysis, flight dynamics, test analysis support, requirements verification, and system design. The candidate will develop solutions to complex technical problems while ensuring sound technical content and timely resolution. The successful candidate will have experience and/or knowledge of flight dynamics, inertial measurement units, navigation basics, trajectory simulation techniques, Kalman filter development, as well as utilizing MATLAB for data analysis. Must be a US Citizen; this position will require a government security clearance.

Successful applicants will generally possess minimal or junior level related work experience, if any, and may have a post-secondary degree or training in a related discipline.Designs, develops, implements, verifies and tests algorithms to perform guidance, navigation and control of aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles and upper stages during powered and coast phases of flight, earth orbit, interplanetary cruise and orbital insertion, as well as during staging events. Navigation functions include the statistical processing of measured data points and their substitution into algorithms simulating physical reality. Guidance functions include the formulation of specific equations and control laws to achieve a desired position in space. Control design and analyses processes consist of the development of the control requirements for aircraft, launch vehicles and/or spacecraft.
