Guidance Engineer

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Sr. Guidance Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the Guidance, Navigation, and Control team. You will contribute to the design, implementation, and testing of the guidance system, and your work will enable the integration of un-crewed aircraft into the National Airspace System.

Responsibilities

• Define guidance system capabilities and requirements in collaboration with operations and pilot teams

• Design guidance system features to integrate with flight control systems and pilot displays

• Implement flight guidance algorithms in simulation and flight software

• Reduce and analyze simulation, lab, and flight test data

• Evaluate guidance system performance and behavior via simulation, hardware-in-loop, and flight test cases

Basic Success Criteria

• MS in aerospace engineering, robotics, or equivalent field

• 8+ years professional experience developing guidance or motion planning algorithms for real-time vehicle systems

• Professional C/C++ and Python software development experience

• Excellent ability to communicate system behavior to end users

Preferred Criteria

• PhD in aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or similar advanced degree

• Technical expertise in one of the following areas: motion planning, control systems, probability theory, optimization

• Experience developing software for safety critical applications

• Experience with Flight Management System certification

• Current pilot, instrument or commercial rating

We are developing and building high-integrity, safety-critical systems for automated flight, and your role is critical to what we do at Reliable Robotics. With the support of the whole team, you will contribute to a novel guidance system that drives our mission forward.
