APPLY NOW

TYPE — FULL TIME
LOCATION — Vijayawada, INDIA
Experience: 5+ Years
CTC: ₹9–15 LPA

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer, you will lead the development, validation, and deployment of the complete GNC architecture for AnduraX's reusable re-entry vehicle. You will be responsible for designing autonomous flight algorithms covering all mission phases, from high-altitude release and atmospheric glide to parafoil recovery, precision landing, and future orbital re-entry missions. Working closely with Systems Engineering, Aerodynamics, Avionics, Flight Software, Structures, and Test teams, you will develop robust guidance, navigation, estimation, and control algorithms that ensure protected, reliable, and repeatable autonomous flight. You will own the complete algorithm development lifecycle, from mathematical modelling and simulation to hardware integration, flight validation, and post-flight performance analysis. This role demands deep expertise in flight dynamics, estimation, control theory,



autonomous systems, and real-world flight testing. You will play a critical role in enabling India's first privately developed reusable re-entry vehicle. This role combines office-based engineering with laboratory, workshop, integration, and field-test activities. Candidates should be comfortable transitioning between analytical work, software development, hardware integration, and outdoor flight operations.
