Job Title: GNC Engineer - Controls

Job Description

This role focuses on designing, analyzing, and implementing guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms for aerospace vehicles. You will develop advanced control laws, build high-fidelity models, and translate GNC algorithms into flight-ready software. The position requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure robust, reliable, and high-performance flight control systems for complex aerospace missions.

I’m working on several exciting Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) roles supporting advanced flight vehicle development programs. These teams are focused on pushing through detailed design, validation/verification, and ultimately launch.

 

We’re hiring across a few areas:

  • Navigation: Sensor modeling, Kalman filtering, and estimation (e.g., star trackers, LiDAR, cameras)
  • Controls: Control law development, actuator systems (thrusters, reaction wheels, CMGs), and flexible dynamics

 

Across all roles, they’re looking for strong C++ skills and experience working with flight vehicles or similar systems.

*If you are interested in this role and cannot relocate, we are considering remote individuals!*
