Guidance Navigation Control Engineer ( Chandler, AZ ) 2095

Join our Actuator Simulation and Modeling team, where you will engage in a 12-month contract role, focusing on the development and enhancement of actuator systems for various aerospace applications. This position requires on-site presence in Chandler, Arizona, and necessitates US citizenship due to the nature of the projects. You’ll be instrumental in executing trade studies, crafting performance specifications, and generating sophisticated models for actuation systems. Leveraging your expertise in C++, MATLAB, and MATLAB/Simulink, you’ll design, analyze, and refine single and multi-loop PID control systems, ensuring their efficiency in both electromechanical and electro-hydraulic contexts.

In this collaborative environment, you’ll work under the guidance of the Flight Sciences Management team, interfacing with Mechanical, Electrical, and Systems Engineering disciplines to meet project goals. You’ll be tasked with validating math model simulations against test data, diagnosing any inconsistencies, and revising models accordingly. This role also involves updating performance standards, conducting kinematic analysis, and supporting anomaly investigations to ensure the reliability of production and fielded systems.
