Anduril Industries is looking to develop and maintain high fidelity 6 DOF simulation software for guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithm development, test, and validation for their autonomous drone fleet.
Requirements
- Demonstrated proficiency in Matlab, Simulink, Simulink Embedded Coder, C++, and Python
- Extensive experience in modeling and simulation of linear and nonlinear dynamic systems in real time and faster than real time simulation modes
- Extensive experience in the mathematical modeling and simulation of aerodynamics, rotorcraft dynamics, sensors and actuators, flexible body dynamics and vibrations
- Expertise in numerical methods for engineering application
- Experience with state estimation - Kalman filtering, sensor fusion, etc. (preferred)
- Experience with integrating and debugging navigation systems for aerial platforms (preferred)
- Experience with flight control design and analysis for fixed and rotary wing aircraft or missile systems (preferred)
Responsibilities
- Develop, debug, and test flight controllers and guidance algorithms
- Develop and test Software-In-The-Loop and Hardware-In-The-Loop tests in preparation for flight testing
- Work closely with the flight software team to define requirements, integrate GNC software and test functionality in simulation
- Review test data captured from the flight control system, subsystems, and other test instrumentation to verify vehicle performance, evaluate GNC algorithm/controller behavior, or debug incidents during testing or from fielded assets
- Develop models required to support functional evaluation of GNC software
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field with exceptional skills in the field of dynamic systems and control
- 8 years professional experience in a GNC or closely related role supporting airborne platforms
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
- A passion for defending the Unites States of America and its allies
