Navigation Engineer

We believe aircraft should fly themselves. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Navigation Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be part of the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Team. You will contribute to the navigation system design, implementation, and testing, and your work will help enable the operation of remotely-piloted aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS).

Responsibilities

Work with internal stakeholders to establish navigation system requirements and architect the navigation system
Analyze, source, and select sensor solutions for use in the navigation system
Develop sensor models in simulation for evaluation of the navigation system
Implement state estimation algorithms in flight software
Test navigation software in simulation, hardware-in-loop, and flight

Basic Success Criteria

MS in aerospace engineering, computer science, or similar advanced degree
Deep technical expertise in one of the following areas: Kalman filtering, probability theory, or fault detection and exclusion (FDE)
4+ years professional experience developing navigation algorithms
2+ years professional experience with C/C++

Preferred Criteria

Sensor fusion, localization, and tracking algorithms
Sensor error/noise modeling
GNSS integrity monitoring

We are developing and building high-integrity, safety-critical systems for automated flight, and your role is critical to what we do at Reliable Robotics. With the support of the entire team, you will enable novel navigation capabilities that drive our core company mission forward.
