Description:
Craig Technologies is excited to lead the way in hypersonic missile development, and we would like you to be a part of it! The Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) program is part of our more extensive hypersonics portfolio and is designing and fielding the hypersonic boost/glide system for the US Army and Navy. Our NGC-SW Integrated Product Team (IPT) within CPS is responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and verifying the software that sequences and controls the missile's hardware. This includes the Navigation, Guidance, and Control (NG C or GN C) subsystem, which flies the missile and glide body, and the embedded Flight Software (FSW) which hosts the NG C algorithms and provides health, status, and sequencing for the entire system. Additionally, we develop and maintain the Flight Software testbeds (HILs or HWILs) which provide complete hardware integration testing with feedback and flight simulation, and the Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) Software which enables system verification and production system checkout and flight test support.
We are looking for an engineer with a technical background in Systems, GNC, or Software who wants to further their systems engineering abilities; applying a systems thinking mindset to translate customer needs into an implementable solution. Our Thread Lead will partner with one of our Future Missions Thread Leads to pull together a singular NGC-SW thread for a flight test or formal delivery. This role is critical to ensure all aspects, from customer use-cases to test requirements, are coordinated across stakeholders and incorporated into the long-term plan. We will be even more dependent on our deputies when the specific system moves from planning into development as there are always unknowns and it will take both the Thread Lead and the Deputy to ensure all challenges and gaps are closed in a timely manner.
