Job Description
Senior Algorithm Specialist – Guidance & Control | Defence & Aerospace
We’re working with a team at the forefront of missile systems development, looking for a Senior Algorithm Specialist with deep expertise in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC). This is a great opportunity to get involved in some of the UK’s most advanced defence projects helping shape the future of autonomous guidance and control systems across a wide range of platforms.
You’ll work across the full design and development lifecycle – from early concept and R&D through to in-flight trials and operational deployment. There’s a good mix of deep technical work (algorithm design, modelling, real-time architecture) and broader system-level thinking (analysis, architecture, integration across complex systems).
The work involves:
Designing and implementing G&C algorithms for missile systems
Analysing and modelling system behaviour using MATLAB/Simulink
Working with tech like IR/RF seekers, inertial sensors, actuators, and advanced propulsion systems
Supporting both detailed-level algorithm design and higher-level system architecture decisions
Cross-verifying models and systems against theory and performance requirements
Working with multi-disciplinary teams across various programmes and stages from concept to flight trials
We’re looking for:
Strong background in aerospace guidance, control and navigation
Experienced in algorithm design, simulation, and verification (MATLAB/Simulink essential)
Good understanding of real-time system architecture and how complex systems come together
Comfortable bounding problems, identifying key design drivers, and simplifying complexity
Able to clearly explain technically challenging concepts and influence wider teams
Any background in applied flight control would be a bonus – but not essential
This is a solid role for someone who enjoys technically challenging work, can operate at both the detail and systems level, and wants to contribute to something with national-level impact. Flexible working, collaborative teams, and long-term programme involvement all part of the package.
