About Us:

At Raytheon Missiles & Defense, you have the opportunity to try new things and make a bigger difference across a broader end-to-end solution, a richer technology and product set, an expanded range of disciplines, a growing global footprint and a more diverse team of colleagues and customers.

Job Summary:

The Algorithm & Simulation (A&S) Directorate is responsible for algorithm development including Guidance, Navigation, and Control; radio frequency (RF) and electro-optical/infrared (EO-IR) Signal Processing; and missile-and-sensor-level Modeling and Simulation for RMD's broad portfolio of projects, programs, and products. The Flight Sciences department, within Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) is looking for motivated and dependable mid-career engineers with subject matter expertise in flight control system design, integration support, and performance assessment for missile systems to perform in the role of Flight Controls Engineer at our Tucson, AZ location.

We value diverse skills and experience, so don’t hold back. Your qualifications could add tremendous value to our team. Our customers come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• The Flight Controls Engineer will apply knowledge of advanced controls & inertial sensors to flight controls design & analysis of missile performance in simulation, ground test, and flight test.
• In this role, you will develop solutions to complex control problems and contribute to uncovering and resolving issues related to development and implementation of flight controls systems.
• You will provide guidance and oversight for the flight controls function on program efforts, from the planning phase through program execution.
• You will develop flight control system architectures and requirements, implement control laws and design flight controls algorithms to maximize program performance and robustness.
• You will develop missile state estimation algorithms, as well as derive algorithms and filters to compensate for flexible body, aeroservoelastic effects, and inertial coupling.

A PhD can account for 5 years of experience as required for this position.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in STEM and 5 (five) years of prior relevant experience OR an Advanced degree and 3 (three) years of relevant experience OR In absence of a degree, 9 (nine) years of relevant experience is required

• Experience developing or modifying code in C/C++
• Experience with MATLAB and/or Simulink
• Prior ownership of an autopilot development effort, over multiple segments of the design phase (design, implementation, integration test, flight test)
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.  U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Value:

• Existing U.S. security clearance
• Research and/or applied experience in advanced control design techniques in areas such as nonlinear, robust, optimal, adaptive, fault-tolerant, and real-time control
• Air vehicle autopilot design experience over a wide range of aerodynamic regimes such as subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hypersonic, and non-continuum flows.
• Experience with embedded software development and hardware/software integration
• Experience assessing GNC system performance throughout the system lifecycle, from initial design to field testing
• Performance analysis and development by simulation, including verification and validation techniques
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to communicate effectively with senior leadership and other engineering disciplines
• Strong collaboration skills and experience leading a GNC-focused development team
• Past experience in engagement with functional organization and community building activities.
