GNandC SME #ADV000AG4 Position Available In Madison, Alabama
Tallo's Job Summary: The Amentum Space Exploration Division (ASED) is seeking a GNandC SME to support the Human Lander Systems (HLS) Program at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Requirements include a degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, with extensive experience in control systems design, modeling, simulation, and analysis. Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently are essential for this critical role in advancing human space exploration.
Job Description
The Amentum Space Exploration Division (ASED) Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNandC) team is a high performing group executing challenging tasks to design and integrate GNandC systems for projects ranging from CubeSats to NASAs Space Launch System (SLS).We are searching for highly qualified candidates to support the design, development, and oversight of the Human Lander Systems (HLS) Program in the Control Systems Design and Analysis branch at NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center as a Dynamics, Controls, Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Subject Matter Expert. This exciting work will serve as a critical step in sending humans back to the Moon, Mars and beyond!
Job Requirements:
A degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or related field is required. A degree from an ABET-accredited university is preferred. Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Ph.D., with a minimum 14 years of experience, MS with at least 18 years of experience, or BS with at least 20 years of experience.
Required skills/experience:
Design and development of flight control systems (PID, state space, etc.) and actuator allocation (manual jet selection, quadratic programming, pseudo inverse, etc.) including TVC and RCS/Phase plane.
Analyzing system performance in the time and frequency domain (Nichols, Bode, Nyquist, Root Locus, etc.) using parametric, Monte Carlo, and statistical techniques.
Proficiency modeling, simulating, and analyzing the performance of launch vehicles, spacecraft, and landers.
Modeling of one or more spacecraft components/subsystems including Thrust Vector Control (TVC) actuators, Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters, slosh, pogo, rigid and/or flexible body dynamics, and/or sensors.
Ability to derive multi-body spacecraft dynamics equations of motion, including both nonlinear equations and linear state equations and integrate subsystem models into larger simulations.
Programming in MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, and C/C++.Experience performing software development, verification, and validation.
Experience performing trade studies, sensitivity, and/or Monte Carlo simulation and analyses related to the control of launch vehicles and/or spacecraft.
Must be detail oriented and self-motivated that can work independently taking projects from start to finish without much oversight.
Must also be able to work collaboratively with other team members both locally and remote at other facilities or vendors.
Strong written and oral communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
Experience mentoring junior engineers.
Desired skills/experience:
Programming in other languages such as Python.
Familiarity with and an understanding of trajectory and orbital dynamics.
Experience with creating animations/visualization from results of 3-DoF/6-DoF simulations using tools such as Unreal Engine, Satellite Tool Kit (STK), etc.
Model based design.
