GNC System Engineer

We're seeking an experienced Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Systems Engineer to support the development of advanced defense and autonomous aerial systems. This role will focus on guidance algorithms, flight-control systems, target-interception capabilities, and system integration for next-generation UAV and defense platforms.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms for interceptors and autonomous UAVs.
• Expert in designing guidance methods including Proportional Navigation (PN) algorithms and its variants.
• Model and simulate flight dynamics, control systems, and interception guidance scenarios
• Fully understand the IR/IIR seeker systems for target tracking and how to be used for guidance and interception
• Tune and validate autopilot and flight-control systems for stability and performance to achieve guidance objectives
• Perform Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing prior to actual testing
• Analyze flight-test and simulation data to evaluate system accuracy and reliability
• Collaborate with avionics, communication, and propulsion teams for system integration

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Control Systems, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in Guidance, Navigation & Control engineering.
• Mandatory experience in defense programs involving missile, interceptor, air-defense, loitering munition, or military UAV systems.
• Strong knowledge of: Flight dynamics, Guidance algorithms, Control systems, State estimation and navigation systems, Autonomous flight systems
• Practical experience with: Proportional Navigation (PN) or equivalent guidance methods, MATLAB/Simulink C/C++ and/or Python, Embedded aerospace systems, HIL/SIL testing environments
• Experience working with flight-control architectures, autopilots, and safety-critical aerospace systems.
