Guidance, Navigation, Controls (GNC) Engineer

TSC is seeking a remote based Guidance, Navigation, Controls (GNC) Engineer that will design, integrate, test, and deliver flight control systems or mission-critical onboard software for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The ideal candidate will have experience in UAS Guidance, Navigation, & Control (GNC) utilizing inertial navigation, vision, collision avoidance, commercial autopilots, redundancy management and path planning architecture. The GNC Engineer will participate hands-on in the full software life cycle, from concept through implementation, integration to flight test and operational release. This will be a remote based position with up to 25% travel required. As a GNC Engineer you can anticipate some of your day-to-day responsibilities to include: Work on a team to develop, modify and tune guidance and control systems for fixed wing aircraft Work on a team to develop, modify and tune navigation systems based on sensor fusion of 6-DOF IMU, magnetometer, GNSS, pressure and ranging sensors. Work on a team to develop and modify 6-DOF and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation environments Simulation, analysis, control, and testing on 6 degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion platform for development and validation of autonomous UAS. Work on a team to design and develop flight or mission-critical onboard software for unmanned systems Aid development for unmanned aerospace includes guidance, navigation & control, mission sequencing, payload control, redundancy and contingency management, uplink and downlink packet encoding and decoding, converting between different serial protocols, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, ground-based GUIs, and aircraft subsystem control (i.e., payload, electrical systems) Embedded Software development (C/C++, Python, shell scripts) Writing/modifying software to adjust flight behaviors: Use development tools such as: JIRA, git, C/C++, CMake, Linux, MATLAB Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary software team on large, multi-language projects Participatin
