Research and develop advanced state estimation and navigation algorithms to ensure assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in contested environments.
Design, write, and deploy production-quality C++ software for aviation platforms requiring real-time, deterministic performance.
Build and maintain comprehensive unit, integration, and system-level tests to validate navigation software performance under operational constraints.
Develop modeling, calibration, and simulation tools for inertial and aided navigation technologies used in airborne platforms.
Participate in agile-based product planning, feature definition, capacity estimation, and cross-team collaboration.
Contribute to ongoing system performance evaluation, regression analysis, and V&V (Verification and Validation) efforts.

Requirements

Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer) and professional experience developing software for embedded Linux systems.
Experience designing and deploying state estimation algorithms (e.g., error state EKF, UKF) in real-world defense or aerospace applications.
Familiarity with developing for constrained environments requiring deterministic timing and high reliability.
Deep understanding of inertial navigation systems (INS), GNSS integration, and navigation error modeling.
Expertise calibrating and integrating IMUs, GPS receivers, magnetometers, and barometric sensors with flight software.
Familiarity with Python for prototyping is acceptable; however, primary development experience must be in C++.
