Job Summary

The Vehicle Systems Division (VSD) sits at the center of the ideas and data behind current and future systems supplying innovative research and development; technical evaluations during the acquisition process; conceptual and detailed design; assembly, integration, and test; and operational support. Comprised primarily of highly-trained mechanical and aerospace engineers, VSD provides national expertise in the areas of vehicle engineering; guidance, navigation, and controls; robotics; electro-mechanical devices; embedded systems; fluid mechanics; propulsion; thermal control; orbital mechanics; mechanisms; structures; structural dynamics; and dynamic environments.

The Embedded Control Systems Department (ECSD) performs independent verification and validation of flight software embedded within avionics systems aboard launch vehicles, spacecraft, and other space systems. Our multidisciplinary staff provides technical oversight throughout the flight software development process, from requirements definition to day-of-launch and on-orbit operations. We develop high-fidelity closed-loop hardware and software testbeds to test the software and assess its readiness for flight. In addition, we develop and test real-time embedded software for picosats, drones, and other emerging technologies.

We are looking for engineers with experience in cloud-based processing, and deployment to help adapt the department's processes and products to available cloud-based computing resources both commercially and internally . This position represents a significant growth area for the department and the company as adaptation of commercial services is taking increased priority. This position will be a hybrid work model with remote consideration with some onsite work required in El Segundo, CA or Hill AFB, UT.
