01 ORIGIN_POINT About ASIO

ASIO develops combat-proven systems that empower tactical forces at the edge. Combining advanced technology with operational simplicity, our solutions support mission planning, situational awareness, resilient navigation, and more, enabling battalions to operate independently and achieve mission success.

02 BEARING The Opportunity

We are looking for a hands-on Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer to own the GNC of a new autonomous airborne system.

This is an opportunity to take a system from proof of concept to an operational product. You will design the guidance, control and navigation algorithms at the heart of the system, develop the calibration and alignment of its navigation system, and keep its performance sharp as the system and its operating conditions evolve. Working closely with systems, software, mechanics and integration teams, you will see your algorithms move from simulation to the lab and into live field trials.

03 WAYPOINTS Key Responsibilities

01 Design guidance and control: Develop guidance laws and flight control algorithms for a new autonomous airborne system, across all flight phases.

02 Build the navigation solution: Develop navigation and state estimation algorithms, including multi-sensor fusion, that deliver an accurate and robust solution under demanding flight conditions.

03 Adapt GNC to every configuration: Update and retune the algorithms as the system evolves, including changes in mass properties, center of gravity, inertia, aerodynamics and operating conditions.

04 Calibrate and align: Develop calibration and alignment algorithms for the navigation system, and define the related procedures for testing and production.

05 Own the GNC baseline: Take over the existing GNC code, master it, and mature it with the software team into robust real-time embedded code.

06 Simulate, test and prove: Build and maintain 6-DOF simulation and Monte Carlo analysis, support SIL/HIL, integration and field tests, analyze flight data and drive accuracy and robustness to the required levels.

07 Drive future improvements: Lead the GNC roadmap for next phases, extending the system's capabilities, operating envelope and performance.

Requirements:
