Guidance Navigation Control Engineer (GNC Engineer)

Обов'язки

• design and implementation of navigation, guidance, and control (GNC) algorithms for UAV platforms
• development and tuning of state estimation and sensor fusion pipelines (IMU, GNSS, magnetometer, barometer)
• implementation and maintenance of Kalman filter–based estimators (EKF / UKF)
• development of guidance logic for waypoint following, trajectory tracking, and mission execution
• design and tuning of control loops (rate, attitude, velocity, position)
• ensure stable system behavior under disturbances and degraded conditions (wind, sensor noise, partial data loss)
• collaborate with software, hardware, and autonomy teams to align interfaces and system constraints
• validate GNC performance in simulation environments (SIL / HIL) and during real flight testing
• analyze flight logs, investigate anomalies, and improve system robustness and predictability
