About the role
- As a GNC Engineer, you will enable us to predict the in-orbit performance of a novel space vehicle.
- 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
- Analyze orbits, constellation designs, trajectories and attitude motion profiles to maximize vehicle service performance
- Support prototyping, implement controllers on prototype hardware
Requirements
- 4-6 years of professional GNC engineering experience, ideally on spacecraft or other dynamically controlled vehicles
- Experience bringing up sim environments from scratch, opinionated/familiar with best practices.
- Experience with implementing attitude control and/or estimation algorithms on spacecraft
- Experience with verification and validation of GNC flight software in an integrated environment, leveraging 6-DOF simulation and HITL testing.
- Clear prior technical ownership of functioning vehicle controllers and sim (I designed and simulated the GNC for "xyz" vehicle)
