• 2 years of experience in GNC technology and product development, deployment, and transition into full-rate production
• Technical depth in at least one of the following areas: aircraft dynamics and control, multi-modality sensor fusion, INS/GPS navigation system development, UAV path planning algorithms, and/or GNC simulation and data analysis
• Experience with MATLAB and C++ on embedded platforms

Bonus:

• Experience in developing flight-critical and safety-critical UAV GNC solutions
• Experience in bringing a UAV GNC solution to certification by an aviation regulatory agency
• Strong expertise in all aspects of automation and autonomous systems, with significant technical depth in at least three of the following areas: aircraft dynamics and control, multi-modality sensor fusion, INS/GPS navigation system development, UAV path planning, and/or GNC simulation and data analysis
• Strong MATLAB and C++ implementation experience on safety-critical real-time systems
