Greenfield Engineering, a Saalex Company is seeking Navigation Engineer in Lexington Park, MD to support the Mission Systems Group and related military avionics programs. The ideal candidate will have extensive hands-on experience with avionics navigation and communication systems, a strong background in global positioning systems, inertial navigation and flight planning. This position is a key contributor to mission effectiveness and safety of flight across the Naval Aviation enterprise. The role directly supports the successful fielding of robust, reliable, and precise navigation capabilities by providing the hands-on engineering analysis and technical support necessary for the development, integration, testing, and fielding of advanced navigation.

Position Type: Full-Time

Salary: $150k-$175k annually (depending on experience)

Work Location: Onsite

Position Overview:

The Navigation Engineer applies systems engineering principles to support the integration of advanced navigation capabilities required for aircraft to operate in modernized civil and military airspace environments worldwide. The incumbent serves as a contributing technical team member, providing Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) engineering support across Navy and Marine Corps platforms.

The position is responsible for working within a team of engineers to assist in the formulation of technical direction, technical planning, and the development of specifications. The incumbent applies technical expertise in the areas of aircraft integration for Performance Based Navigation (PBN), Area Navigation (RNAV), Required Navigation Performance (RNP), and Flight Management System (FMS) architectures.

Work is performed under the administrative and general policy supervision of the Core Avionics Engineering Division Director and Position, Navigation, and Timing Branch Head. The incumbent acts as a practicing engineer and technical contributor, providing engineering analysis, recommendations, and guidance to support platform-level Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and senior navigation engineers.
