About this role

GNC Engineer, ADCS (Starshield) Hawthorne, CA SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. GNC ENGINEER, ATTITUDE DETERMINATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM (STARSHIELD) Starshield leverages SpaceX's Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use, with an initial focus on earth observation, communications, and hosted payloads. As an engineer on this team, you will bring a passion and expertise in areas like spacecraft attitude dynamics and control, orbit and attitude navigation filtering, orbital mechanics, spacecraft systems design, and software development to support the Starshield Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) GNC team. There are several sub-teams within Starshield GNC with different focus areas. The ADCS team focuses on vehicle GNC software and hardware design, analysis, testing, and on-orbit operations, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that all Starshield vehicles reliably and intelligently balance payload pointing needs, sensor availability, momentum management, thermal constraints, and power generation demand across the entire mission timeline. On any satellite, the ADCS is an extremely central and crucial subsystem that is key to mission success. In this role, you will be working on a high-impact team whose success is paramount to the long-term flourishing and continuous improvement of the entire Starshield program.
