Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNic Mallory is a Guidance, Navigation & Controls engineer with 11 years’ experience designing and implementing flight-control algorithms, simulations, and system architectures for aircraft, launch vehicles, and spacecraft at Northrop Grumman. He brings hands-on expertise in control law development, state estimation, and statistical navigation processing, honed across advanced programs and earlier NASA-contracted work improving the Air Traffic Operations Laboratory. Nic’s academic work extended pseudo-sliding mode adaptive control to rotorcraft, a niche application that informs his approach to robust adaptive guidance in real systems. He’s comfortable spanning theory to practice—building simulation tools, integrating sensors, and specifying hardware/software requirements for verification and testing. Based in San Diego, he combines aerospace-research rigor with field-tested engineering from helicopter prototyping to full-scale vehicle simulation. Beyond core GNC skills, he has a track record of applying novel tuning and sensor-integration techniques to challenging dynamic platforms.
