The candidate will support the electrical design and test of Rate and Rate Integrating Gyroscopes. This will include the design of electrical gyroscope components such as motors, pickoffs and torquers, as well as custom built test fixtures and test harnesses. In addition, the candidate will assist in the design of tests and provide analytical support for testing Rate and Rate Integrating Gyroscopes, including Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP), scale factor, transfer function, drift, alignment, and 1st and 2nd order system stability characteristics (gain/phase analysis), etc.
