The role

You will design, develop, test, and integrate navigation systems and architectures for subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic autonomous systems. This includes performing modeling, simulation, and flight testing to validate navigation performance.

What you will do

• Lead navigation system design for Anduril products.
• Analyze and develop mission requirements and constraints.
• Evaluate and integrate advanced alternative navigation aiding sources.
• Support flight testing to measure and validate navigation performance.
• Perform trade studies, modeling, simulation, and analysis.
• Conduct simulation and testing for validation of navigation algorithms.
• Collect and analyze platform telemetry data.
• Support design, development, integration, and testing of inertial navigation systems.
• Use and update existing navigation filters, models, and simulations.
• Develop algorithms for navigation, guidance, and control systems.

Required qualifications
