About Wing: 

Wing is reshaping the future of delivery. We are an on-demand drone delivery service that can deliver food, medicine or other items within minutes. We’ve also developed an unmanned traffic management platform to safely route drones through the sky. Our service is faster, safer and produces far less pollution than traditional delivery. Originally created in 2012 within X, the Moonshot Factory, Wing is now an Alphabet company.

About the Role:

As a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer, you'll leverage your expertise in aircraft and system dynamics, simulation, estimation and control theory, and autonomy to craft safety-critical solutions to enable highly-reliable operations of self-flying aircraft in diverse operating environments.

What You’ll Do: 

• Create innovative, reliable, and efficient GNC solutions to enable new and challenging aircraft capabilities
• Have ownership and cognisance of GNC systems throughout the complete development lifecycle, from initial idea to system deployment in business operations
• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure high level performance goals are met and business objectives are achieved
• Perform detailed GNC analyses of system designs, analyze research and development test data, communicate these results to the Wing team
• Support of development and execution of GNC system integration and test efforts, including flight test

What You'll Need:

• M.S in Controls Engineering (or similar) or equivalent practical experience
• 2 years of experience in GNC technology and product development, deployment and transition into full rate production
• Technical depth in at least one of the following areas: aircraft dynamics and control, multi-modality sensor fusion, INS/GPS navigation system development, UAV path planning algorithms, and/or GNC simulation and data analysis
• Experience with MATLAB and C++ on embedded platforms

Bonus:

• Experience in developing flight critical and safety critical UAV GNC solutions
• Experience in bringing a UAV GNC solution to certification by an aviation regulatory agency
• Strong expertise on all aspects of automation and autonomous systems, with significant technical depth in at least three of the of the following areas: aircraft dynamics and control, multi-modality sensor fusion, INS/GPS navigation system development, UAV path planning, and/or GNC simulation and data analysis
• Strong MATLAB and C++ implementation experience on safety-critical real-time systems
