Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineers

Job Description

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is hiring Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineers to join the Flight Systems Engineering Capability in Berkeley, MO. These roles will support new product design, development, integration and flight test supporting the areas of guidance, modeling and simulation, flight control and subsystem control for multiple fixed wing aircraft, including T-7A and derivatives, MQ-25, F-15 EX and proprietary programs.

Flight engineers are essential to the development, safety and success of our products and solutions. Each day, they go above and beyond to meet our customers’ overall mission requirements—from initial vehicle concept definition through design, test, validation and in-service support. Your expertise in areas such as Aerodynamics; Propulsion; Guidance, Navigation & Control; and Loads & Dynamics will drive the future of aerospace.

Join us, and you can build something better for yourself, for our customers and for the world.

Position Responsibilities:

• Assist in defining Guidance, Navigation and Control mission requirements and ensure requirements traceability and quality from the system level to component level
• Use multidisciplinary model data (aero, mass properties, propulsion, etc.) to develop and refine a complex, nonlinear, 6 degrees of freedom simulation model
• Support design of flight control laws using modern linear control design techniques and tools to achieve design and performance targets
• Use advanced nonlinear analysis to assess and refine the control law design
• Perform model validation against test data to inform and improve the accuracy of the simulation environment
• Develop supplementary controllers, limiters, mode logic, and signal shaping to properly bound the performance within all areas of the flight envelope
• Work with flight simulation and Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) software engineers to incorporate control laws into the operational flight program
• Support flight simulations, hardware in the loop testing, and flight testing
• Participate in design reviews, analyses, simulations and component/system testing to ensure delivery of products that meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations
