Pivotal GNC Engineer II focusing on navigation at Pivotal, designing and verifying state estimation and sensor fusion algorithms for eVTOL aircraft. Responsible for full lifecycle development including sensor characterization, algorithm design, deployment, and testing.

Responsibilities

The GNC team at Pivotal develops the flight control and navigation algorithms that let our aircraft fly safely and precisely, including on the Helix family of aircraft. We are looking for a GNC Engineer II who focuses on navigation to design, implement, and verify the state estimation and sensor fusion algorithms. These algorithms estimate the aircraft’s attitude, heading, position, velocity, and other critical states in real time.
The ideal candidate has a solid grounding in estimation theory and hands-on experience taking a filter from design all the way to real sensor data or hardware. Experience with aircraft navigation systems, GNSS/INS integration, and eVTOL or UAV platforms is highly desirable.
