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.
