GN&C Modeling and Simulation Engineer (AER0005BJ)c Full time - GeoControl Systems, Inc - United States Posted On 11/25/2020 Job Information Government/Military City Houston State/Province Texas 77058 Job Description Are you passionate about human space exploration or understanding the origins of the universe, and working with a dynamic and diverse team to make a difference? If you are, we need you! We need your commitment, teamwork, and energy to help us achieve great things that inspire humans all over the globe. We need you to bring innovative ideas and diverse backgrounds to help us envision, shape, and deliver systems that will benefit the quality of life of people around the world. We are excited about what we do, and we need you on our team as we take on new challenges for NASA's pursuits in deep space exploration. Jacobs is NASA's largest engineering solutions provider working alongside NASA at centers across the United States. We have the unique and significant role to partner with NASA at Johnson Space Center (JSC), to be part of every human spaceflight program - the International Space Station (ISS), NASA's Orion spacecraft, which will carry astronauts into deep space, and Gateway, the orbiting platform providing the home for astronauts to work and travel back and forth to the moon's surface, and serving as the platform for deep space exploration. From critical systems on the ISS to enable astronauts to live and work in space; to performing advanced development for systems leading to deep space exploration; to being part of the foundation for Gateway. We also partner with NASA at JSC, the only NASA center in the United States to curate all astromaterial samples returned from exploration missions, to perform curation services, orbital debris analysis, and basic research to further humankind's understanding of the origins of our solar system. We need you to be a part of our team! Our long-term client relationship with NASA has led to a need for a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) Modeling and Simulation Engineer with GeoControl Systems, Inc., a JETS teammate company. This position will work with the JETS engineers developing 6-DOF Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) simulations in support of various NASA programs including the Commercial Crew Program (CCP), Gateway, and the Human Landing System (HLS). These simulation tools are being developed to assist in the design, development, and oversight of the respective GN&C systems including ascent, entry/descent/landing, orbit, and rendezvous proximity operation mission scenarios. The selected applicant will: - Provide math modeling and simulation development, integration, and testing of spacecraft GN&C systems - Develop formal math model and simulation documentation - Identify team simulation tasks, resolve simulation related issues and assist team members. - Directly interact with the NASA customers, along with various NASA support contractors, during technical meetings and working groups. - Perform other duties as required.
Requirements Required Education/Experience/Skills: A Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an ABET accredited engineering school with five (5) years of related engineering experience, or a Master's degree from an accredited engineering school and four (4) years of related engineering experience, or Ph.D. from an accredited engineering school and zero (0) years of related experience. Skills and experience should demonstrate: - Experience developing, verifying, and validating GN&C math models and 6-DOF simulations. - Experience with Linux, C/C++ and Python. - Experience with version control systems. - Ability to apply knowledge and experience towards timely completion of technical products and services. - Ability to learn and work independently. - Excellent communication and documentation skills and the ability to work in a team environment consisting of NASA civil servants and various contractor employees. Requisition Preferences: - MS in Aerospace Engineering. - Knowledge of GN&C principles with a background in flight dynamics/orbital mechanics. - Experience with the NASA/JSC TRICK simulation architecture and GIT configuration control tool. - Previous experience with simulation visualization and graphics packages, particularly JSC EDGE or DOUG. - Knowledge of MATLAB and Simulink/Stateflow tool boxes.
