Position: Senior Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer - Navigatio with Security Clearance
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. Anduril's Flight Engineering department is seeking Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineers to join our team. The Anduril Flight Engineering team is integral to development of flight system solutions in all domains for our warfighters.

As a critical member of our team, the role of a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer is pivotal in driving the design, development, testing, and implementation of cutting-edge flight system technologies for our aerospace systems. Anduril fosters a dynamic learning culture, characterized by accelerated knowledge acquisition through modeling, simulation, analysis, and rigorous and frequent ground and flight test experimentation.

At Anduril, you will be involved in flight testing the systems you develop. We are seeking exceptional GNC Engineers with expertise in Navigation, Sensing, or PNT to join our team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of autonomous air power, advanced tactical missile systems, strategic weapons, and hypersonic strike and defense systems. As a key contributor, you will develop, test, and integrate navigation systems and architectures for subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic autonomous systems, driving innovation in mission-critical capabilities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
* Lead navigation system design for one or more Anduril products, cradle-to-grave ownership.
* Analyze and help develop mission requirements and constraints across the Anduril product portfolio to determine optimal navigation system architecture.
* Support and drive the evaluation and integration of advanced alternative navigation aiding sources (prepare, support, and conduct lab, motion, and flight tests).
* Support flight testing to measure & validate navigation performance relative to mission requirements and troubleshoot testing and operational anomalies.
* Perform trade studies, modeling, simulation and other forms of analysis to validate algorithm and navigation stack accuracy, robustness, and performance.
* Conduct simulation and testing for validation of navigation algorithms and system performance.
* Collect and analyze platform telemetry data to validate platform operation and performance
* Support the design, development, integration and testing of an inertial navigation systems (INS) for aerospace vehicles (UAS, spacecraft, missiles, etc.).
* Use and update Anduril's existing navigation filters, models, and simulations to improve navigation performance.
* Support and drive the development of algorithms for navigation, guidance, and control systems, including Extended Kalman filters and other estimation methods using various programming languages.
* Support and drive the development of advanced sensor fusion algorithms leveraging INS, GNSS, cameras, LiDAR, and other sensors for accurate navigation in complex environments across subsea, surface, air, and space domains.
* Apply covariance analysis techniques for early requirements derivation, as well as to optimize navigation system performance, error modeling, and system uncertainty assessments.
* Improve calibration procedures for sensor suites used in aerospace navigation systems.
* Collaborate with GNC, Flight Software, MSA, T&E, product leadership, and other multidisciplinary teams to integrate navigation software and hardware into real-world flight systems.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering,…
