Job Description Summary:

Production Design, Verification & Validation Group at Draper is seeking a senior engineer with broad technical skills to work in a multidisciplinary environment to conceptualize, develop, analyze, and assess robust GN&C (Guidance, Navigation and Control) systems for a wide variety of applications, including defense systems. Program roles will usually be Systems Engineer and/or Integration and Test Engineer. Tasking will include participating in the development of high-fidelity system models, test development and planning, conducting analysis on systems packages, and evaluating sub-system performance integrated into high-level systems. Demonstrated experience integrating and testing complex hardware systems is required.

A successful candidate will have: -Experience evaluating high-precision inertial systems (e.g., gyroscopes and accelerometers), including understanding the device physics, associated errors models, analysis techniques, etc.

-Experience in verification and validation planning and execution, including design of test or design of experiment methodologies; previous experience developing test programs and plans, and systems engineering documents.

-Demonstrated experience in completing system design technical baseline activities i.e. SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.

-Strong ability to lead small to medium-sized teams, collaborate, and present to stakeholders across internal and external functional boundaries.

-Ability to effectively apply data analysis methods and data analytics tools to extract important information for utility.

-The ability to work in a team and succeed with a process-oriented setting is critical, as is the ability to thoroughly document and communicate one’s work to a technical audience.

-Hybrid Position with expectations of a min of 60% on site work
