Position Description\:

The Amentum Space Exploration Division (ASED) Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) team is a high performing group executing challenging tasks to design, integrate and evaulate GN&C systems for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). We are searching for highly qualified candidates to support NASA’s Navigation Team in the Guidance, Navigation, & Mission Analysis branch at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). This exciting work will serve as a critical step in sending humans back to the Moon, Mars and beyond

Job Functions\:

Create analysis and test plans to assess navigation filter performance. Correlate HWIL test data to 6 DOF simulation model predictions. Build standalone analysis tools to evaluate Block 1B’s navigation system performance. Design and execute captive-carry testing (van or aircraft) for integrated GPS INS performance. Validate navigation sensor model performance with hardware derived data. Develop pre-flight test procedures to confirm navigation system readiness for flight. Develop post-flight analysis tools including best estimated trajectory and flight path reconstruction.

Day to day activities include\:

Creating, editing and debugging software written in C, Python, MATLAB, and C .
Optimization and improvement of analysis tools and GN&C models.
Working with GN&C leads and other engineering disciplines.
Provide mentorship to mid and early career teammates.
Supporting the verification and validation of technical products.
Creation and review of engineering and software documentation.
Preparing and Presenting technical reports and briefings.

A degree from an ABET-accredited university in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field is required.  Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Ph.D., with a minimum 9 years of experience, Masters with at least 13 years of experience, or BS with at least 15 years of experience.

Required skills and experience\:

Strong proficiency with C/C is required. Familiarity with MATLAB and Python is also desired.
Knowledge of inertial navigation and GPS-aided navigation systems, preferably for aerospace applications.
Experience with models of inertial sensors, inertial navigation systems, and GPS receivers, including the effects of stochastic errors and latency. Knowledge of how various error sources effect the integrated navigation solution.
Experience with navigation error analysis, including sensitivity analysis, covariance analysis, and Monte Carlo analysis.

Essential Functions

Work Environment\: 

Office environment onsite MSFC (>90%). Requires ability to provide clear, concise, accurate and timely communication, both verbally and in writing (100%). Requires ability to interact professionally with co-workers, management, and client (100%). Requires travel in the domestic USA (<5%).

Physical Requirements\: 

Requires sitting for extended periods of time in meetings with peers, management, and with our client at NASA facilities to discuss technical issues (10%). Also, requires sitting for extended periods of time to work at a computer (>80%).  Requires ability to use stairs or elevators for access between floors and multiple buildings at NASA and our facilities (<10%).  

Equipment and Machines\: 

Requires ability to operate a personal computer, a telephone, fax machine, copier, calculator, and other general office equipment (100%).

Attendance\: 

Normal workday is from 7\:30 a.m. through 4\:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. Minimal overtime may be required (10%) to meet schedule milestones and to support technical demands of the job. Regular attendance is a necessity and adequate arrangements for delegating duties during absences are required.

Other Essential Functions\:
