Job Description

• Research and develop advanced state estimation and navigation algorithms to ensure assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in contested environments. • Design, write, and deploy production-quality C++ software for aviation platforms requiring real-time, deterministic performance. • Build and maintain comprehensive unit, integration, and system-level tests to validate navigation software performance under operational constraints. • Develop modeling, calibration, and simulation tools for inertial and aided navigation technologies used in airborne platforms. • Participate in agile-based product planning, feature definition, capacity estimation, and cross-team collaboration. • Contribute to ongoing system performance evaluation, regression analysis, and V&V (Verification and Validation) efforts.

Job Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer) and professional experience developing software for embedded Linux systems.
  • Experience designing and deploying state estimation algorithms (e.g., error state EKF, UKF) in real-world defense or aerospace applications.
  • Familiarity with developing for constrained environments requiring deterministic timing and high reliability.
  • Deep understanding of inertial navigation systems (INS), GNSS integration, and navigation error modeling.
  • Expertise calibrating and integrating IMUs, GPS receivers, magnetometers, and barometric sensors with flight software.
  • Familiarity with Python for prototyping is acceptable; however, primary development experience must be in C++.

Benefits
