If this excites you, we are interested in hearing about your best work and accomplishments across any domain and from any points in your life. About the Role As a GNC Engineer, you will enable us to predict the in-orbit performance of a novel space vehicle. Your work will span from vehicle-level dynamics modeling, to propagated orbital dynamics modeling, to controller design that we can implement on flight-ready avionics. We're looking for someone who brings “full-stack” GNC development capability to the table. Responsibilities - Develop and own our 6-DOF simulation for understanding vehicle attitude, station-keeping, and orbital performance. - Design and implement controllers on hardware going to space by actually writing software yourself - Use simulation to constrain and inform ADCS design - Work closely with avionics engineers to have performant, reliable attitude determination and control - Analyze orbits, constellation designs, trajectories and attitude motion profiles to maximize vehicle service performance - Contribute to high-level vehicle architecture decisions - Support prototyping, implement controllers on prototype hardware - Come up with creative solutions to novel problems that surround precisely putting a spot of reflected sunlight on the ground from space Ideal Qualifications - 4-6 years of professional GNC engineering experience, ideally on spacecraft or other dynamically controlled vehicles - Clear prior technical ownership of functioning vehicle controllers and sim (I designed
