About this role
GNC Engineer Seattle, WA, United States GNC Engineer Cowboy Space Corp. is building the infrastructure to power and connect the orbital economy. Our satellites operate in Low Earth Orbit to collect sunlight and enable a new class of capabilities-from powering on-orbit compute, to transmitting energy via infrared lasers (space-to-earth and space-to-space), powering on-orbit compute to delivering secure, high-bandwidth optical data. By rethinking how energy and data are generated and distributed in space, we're unlocking entirely new ways to operate both in orbit and on Earth. Founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt (co-founder of Robinhood), Cowboy Space Corp. is backed by leading investors and built by a team from top aerospace and defense organizations. We're moving quickly to solve complex technical challenges and build a new category of space infrastructure. About the Role : As a GNC Engineer at Cowboy Space, you will design and implement the algorithms that control how our spacecraft orient, navigate, and maneuver in orbit. Your work will directly impact pointing accuracy, orbital control, and overall mission performance. This is a high-ownership role spanning modeling, simulation, flight software integration, and real-world testing. You'll work closely with propulsion, hardware, and software teams to ensure GNC systems perform reliably from simulation to on-orbit operations. Responsibilities: - Design and develop guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for spacecraft attitude and orbit control - Build high-fidelity simulations to model spacecraft dynamics, sensors, and actuators - Develop state estimation algorithms (e.g., Kalman filters) for navigation and attitude determination - Design control laws for
