The GN&C Engineer will support ICBM programs through data analysis algorithm development performance assessments and software tool maintenance within a multidisciplinary team.

Job Description
BAE Systems is looking for a motivated Guidance Navigation and Control (GN&C) Engineer to join the Force Development Evaluation (FDE) team for an exciting opportunity supporting the United States Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) weapon system program.
What is FDE?
The FDE team supports Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) and Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) to monitor and assess the current performance and accuracy of the Minuteman III (MMIII) ICBM. The team supports Operational Test Launch activities such as pre-flight mission planning launch support post-flight performance and accuracy analysis and development of accuracy nuclear planning factors. The team also leverages its expertise to support assessment efforts for the upcoming Sentinel ICBM. This role offers a unique opportunity to support and participate in an active test launch program with a team of subject matter experts.
The position involves a wide variety of work ranging from pre-launch planning operations to post-launch data analysis. A successful candidate will work independently and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team to develop expertise on the MMIII Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This GN&C Engineer will:

• Implement and utilize Kalman filter or linear covariance methods for IMU error assessment using physics models in tandem with IMU and GPS data.
• Perform analysis of sensor data before and after a test flight to verify nominal behavior and identify anomalous behavior.
• Understand ground and flight algorithms that define how the missile uses its GN&C system.
• Produce inertial trajectories using sensor data to reconstruct the flight path of the missile.
• Develop maintain and modify software tools to determine IMU performance and flight accuracy.
• Publish and present IMU performance and accuracy data through briefings and reports.

The position is located at Hill AFB Utah. Due to work within a classified environment this role is not conducive to teleworking or remote schedules. Position level will be based on candidate experience and qualifications.
