Navigation Engineer

Wing is a company that offers drone delivery solutions for last mile logistics. They are seeking a Navigation Engineer to join their Guidance, Navigation and Control team, focusing on developing advanced autonomy algorithms for their drone delivery systems.

Responsibilities:

• Create and own innovative and reliable Guidance, Navigation, and Control solutions for our autonomous aircraft fleet to drive business impact and commercial success
• Provide expertise in various sensor modalities, including GNSS and inertial systems, and their integration into broader autonomous aircraft systems
• Perform analysis on GNSS sensor data ranging from prototypes to large-scale production operations to inform requirements and designs and implement solutions to improve performance for business impact and commercial success
• Create analyses, establish requirements, write and review design documents, implement code, and perform verification and validation of productionized flightworthy software in MATLAB, Python, and/or C++
• Share deep technical knowledge with the broader team on GNSS and inertial navigation modalities, including design, implementation, verification and validation techniques
• Collaborate cross-functionally between aircraft software, perception, hardware, and test teams
• Develop filtering solutions, such as Kalman Filters and other linear and non-linear filters, to fuse information from a variety of sensor technologies
• Conduct trade studies for sensor and algorithm designs. Perform risk assessments of different types of algorithms as applied to real-world scenarios
• Have ownership and cognisance of systems throughout the entire life-cycle: concept, design, implementation, lab and flight testing and evaluation, fielding, and support

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience in Guidance, Navigation, and Control for aerospace systems
• MS degree, PhD, or equivalent practical experience in Aerospace, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• Experience working on multi-sensor fusion navigation systems for aerospace systems, including GNSS/INS integration
• Experience writing embedded safety critical software in C++, Matlab, and/or Python
• Technical depth in at least two of the following areas: aircraft dynamics and control, multi-modal sensor fusion, contingency management, GNSS position engine development, INS/GNSS navigation system development, UAV path planning algorithms, and/or GNC simulation and data analysis
• Expertise in Kalman Filtering and other estimation methods
