Senior GNC Engineer - Navigation & System Integration

Los AngelesOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Senior GNC Engineer focuses on integration, testing, validation and verification of navigation, GNSS, INS/IMU, and sensor-fusion solutions for high‑fidelity aerospace guidance systems, including simulation, flight testing, and cross‑functional collaboration.

About this role

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

The Navigation and System Integration GNC Engineer will be responsible for integration, testing, validation and verification of Navigation instrumentation and GNSS components and supporting the navigation SW suite and development efforts (including filtering and fusion) on advanced guidance, navigation and control systems for our aircraft, as needed.

Responsibilities:

  • Actively support and take participation in all Navigation, GNSS, INS/IMU, Localization, Fusion, System integration efforts
  • Actively support Navigation/GNSS/Localization modeling & integration needs for high-fidelity simulation platform
  • Conduct simulation studies to assess the performance of the Navigation suite in aircraft and optimize its design 
  • Communicate and collaborate very closely with cross-functional teams on Navigation model integration, sub-system integration and Nav. Suite simulation testing/verification capabilities.
  • Running and conducting Monte Carlo simulations (with Navigation emphasis), as well as SITL, HITLS, regression testing and test coverage scenarios.
  • Design and develop navigation, sensor fusion and/or blending algorithms for our aircraft using advanced techniques and tools 
  • Develop and implement different filtering techniques/algorithms and strategies to ensure safe and efficient flight instrumentation + operations 
  • Conduct flight testing to validate and refine the performance of the aircraft's Navigation systems 
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams to ensure that the aircraft meets safety, performance and efficiency standards from Navigation suite perspective
  • Participate in the development of system-level requirements and specifications 
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations and documentation related to Navigation and instrumentation activities 

    • Basic Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing, or related engineering field.
  • 5+ years of experience in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical or related Engineering field 
  • Strong understanding of Navigation, GNSS, INS/IMU systems as well as filtering, fusion and Navigation sensor suite

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Navigation sensor trade studies, selection process, sensor models, Nav. sub-systems, Nav. SW system integration, fusion/blending algorithms and strategies.
  • Experience and practical experience with filtering techniques (including KF, UKF, EKF, Particle filters, etc).
  • Familiarity and experience with Navigation needs for autonomous flight systems and autonomy
  • Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, familiarity with Julia, and other modeling and simulation tools 
  • Experience with Navigation sensor testing and data analysis.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills 
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills 
  • Passion for aviation and the development of advanced aircraft technologies
