Position Description:

The Amentum Space Exploration Division (ASED) Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) team is a high performing group executing challenging tasks to design and integrate GN&C systems for projects ranging from CubeSats to NASA’s 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 NASA’s 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!

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Develop and/or oversee the development, verification, and validation of launch vehicle, spacecraft, and lander control systems.
  
• Model, develop, simulate, and analyze launch vehicle, spacecraft, and lander control system performance and stability including during touchdown.
  
• Interface with HLS partners to seek understanding of their design/test data and potentially participate in partners’ tests.
  
• Periodically analyze HLS partner’ flight data and present findings to NASA management. 
  
• Mentor junior engineers in conducting control system modeling, simulation, and analysis.
  
• Resolve complex problems pertaining to the design, development, analysis, integration, evaluation, testing, and verification of control systems and 6-DoF models and simulations.
  
• Develop, modify, maintain, and improve software simulations, tools, and scripts.
  
• Configure, conduct, and analyze 6-DoF Monte Carlo simulations.
  
• Conduct trades studies and/or sensitivity analyses related to launch vehicles and spacecraft control.
  
• Create, edit, and debug software written in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.
  
• Prepare and present technical reports and/or briefings including visualization of results.
  
• Create and review engineering and software documentation.
