Full Job Description
Entry-Level Guidance, Navigation & Control Engineer **Company:** The Boeing Company Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking a **Entry-Level** **Guidance, Navigation & Control Engineer** to join the Flying Qualities and Autonomy Technology Group as part of the Vertical Lift Division located in**Ridley Park, PA**. We participate in all phases of design and testing, and support all of Boeing’s vertical lift aircraft, including the Apache, AH-6, Chinook, MH-139, V-22 Osprey, and other developmental aircraft. **Position Responsibilities:** * Analyze air vehicle stability and control characteristics to ensure acceptable handling qualities in compliance with specifications. * Apply control theory to the design of control laws that achieve desired characteristics for dynamic control response, gust or disturbance rejection, system failure robustness, and loads considerations. * Develop and validate linear and nonlinear mathematical analysis and simulation models of air vehicle and subsystems using theory and test data, including wind tunnel and flight test. * Support the design of new and modified rotorcraft configurations from a stability, control, and handling qualities perspective. * Perform wind tunnel testing, pilot-in-the-loop flight simulation, hardware in the loop laboratory testing, and flight testing in support of vehicle design and analysis. * Apply tools such as Matlab/Simulink and other modern and legacy programing languages in both Windows and Unix-based environments. * Collaborate with test pilots and with engineers in other engineering disciplines such as aerodynamics, dynamics, avionics systems, structural design, and crew systems design, to optimize vehicle level characteristics. * Occasional travel to support flight testing at off-site locations. These test sites could include cold weather sites, high altitude sites, or ships at sea. * Ability to work flexible hours, including overtime and occasional weekends when necessary to support test activi
