Job description
About the role
Draper is seeking a highly motivated student interested in designing Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) algorithms and software for complex civilian or commercial space applications. The student will work with a team developing simulation models and analysis tools to evaluate GN&C functionality and performance.
The work includes developing and maintaining high-fidelity, 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) vehicle dynamic simulation models. The student will implement non-real-time simulations and conduct simulation-based analysis to define GN&C system requirements and capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and enhance engineering solutions for challenging problems.
- Implement and test solutions, perform analysis, and provide documentation support.
- Develop simulations and conduct stability analysis, guidance and control law development, navigation accuracy assessments, and robustness analysis.
- Support GN&C software development and testing.
- Generate and present test reports with plots, tables, evaluation criteria, and conclusions based on collected and analyzed data.
- Complete assignments designed to develop practical knowledge of processes, procedures, equipment, facilities, systems, and their interrelationships.
