aerospace engineer Torrance, CA
Job description
Job description
We are hiring at Sequoia Research Corporation! We are a small aerospace engineering company in the Los Angeles, South Bay Area, that has been in business for over 50 years. The problems we solve address important challenges in vehicle navigation and aircraft safety as well as fundamental space weather research. We take pride in the difficulty of the problems assigned to us by our customers, as they are often challenging to frame, let alone solve. In the past, we have designed and prototyped automated algorithmic analysis and integrity monitoring for the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), constructed the integrity architecture for a Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) and written papers on ionospheric threats and the modelling thereof.
We are actively recruiting engineers with an interest in applying math and physics in a computational setting. We use Python, MatLab, C/C++, and some FORTRAN to develop algorithms, perform simulations, and analyze interesting data sets. The candidate should have strong analytical skills, be able to program, and must be a US citizen. We have found that people with an educational background in physics, chemistry, mathematics or engineering enjoy and thrive on our work. Our problems are uniquely challenging and require a diverse skillset. We are looking for all levels of education: Masters, Ph.D., as well as people with years of experience in their respective fields (with Bachelors).
Responsibilities and Duties
- Performing computer simulations with in-house satellite navigation software.
- Developing analysis tools in Python and MatLab.
- Developing and testing algorithms that enhance performance and integrity solutions.
- Engaging in fundamental space weather research.
- Presenting various findings to academic/industry colleagues and government sponsors.
Qualifications and Skills
Minimum qualifications:
- Must be a U.S. citizen.
- Bachelors with 1 years experience.
