Entry Level
About the role
- Design, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for spacecraft, re-entry vehicles, and hypersonic/airborne platforms
- Develop and maintain 6-DOF dynamics simulations and associated analysis tools for mission and performance assessment
- Implement and validate GN&C flight software (MATLAB/Simulink models and C/C++ prototypes) and integrate with testbeds and avionics
- Apply astrodynamics and flight mechanics to mission design, novel orbit concepts, and trajectory optimization
- Apply aerodynamics, atmospheric flight mechanics, and controls knowledge to support the design of re-entry guidance, navigation, and flight control functions
- Develop powered and unpowered guidance laws and autonomy tools for on-orbit and atmospheric operations
- Support troubleshooting of operational anomalies, functional tests, and service incidents
- Produce concepts of operations, simulation artifacts, and test procedures to enable rapid iteration from prototype to flight test
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (systems engineering, avionics, test, and business development) and communicate technical tradeoffs to stakeholders
- Independently identify inefficiencies, propose solutions, and implement reusable tools and automations
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science
- Strong fundamentals in astrodynamics and/or aerodynamics and linear algebra
- Experience using MATLAB and Simulink
- Programming experience in C/C++ or comparable languages sufficient to implement and test GN&C algorithms
- Ability to work effectively in broad, minimally defined design spaces and to communicate technical results clearly
- 1+ years related technical experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience (preferred)
- 3+ years related technical experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience (preferred)
