Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer I/II

Specter Aerospace is seeking a Guidance , Navigation, and Control E ngineer I/II to support the design and analysis of high -speed airbreathing testbed vehicles.

A successful candidate will have prior experience developing GNC algorithms for high-speed and hypersonic flight systems, developing and analyzing six degree-of-freedom simulations, and supporting the transition from development to flight.

Specter Aerospace is building the next generation of hypersonic vehicles for U.S.

Forces and Allies.

Specter is headquartered just north of Boston in Peabody, MA where it leverages its advanced propulsion technologies, manufacturing, and testing capabilities to rapidly develop supersonic and hypersonic systems.

Funded by a mix of government R&D organizations and private funding, Specter is expanding its team in preparation for flight testing and full-scale production.

• Support development of six degree-of-freedom (6DOF) simulations using C++
• Design and evaluate GNC algorithms for the control of high-speed airbreathing vehicles
• Perform GNC-related analyses of high-speed airbreathing vehicles to assess flight performance
• Develop software-/hardware-in-the-loop (SWIL/HWIL) capabilities to aid in design, analysis, and verification of high-speed systems
• Support trajectory optimization and analysis efforts (3DOF/6DOF)
• Coordinate with modeling and simulation team to support survivability/employment analyses in a classified setting
• Other duties as assigned by the company
