What You'll Do
As a GNC Engineer, you will focus on developing the navigation and state-estimation capabilities that enable precise and autonomous spacecraft operations. You will work on spacecraft state estimation, sensor fusion, GNSS/INS navigation, attitude and orbit determination, and relative navigation for rendezvous and proximity operations.

Responsibilities
Design, implement, test, and validate spacecraft navigation and state-estimation algorithms
Develop and tune Extended Kalman Filters (EKF) and other state-estimation algorithms for spacecraft applications
Support navigation algorithm development for rendezvous, proximity operations, and autonomous spacecraft operations
Develop high-fidelity sensor models including measurement noise, bias, scale factor, misalignment, latency, and other error sources
Analyze navigation performance and troubleshoot estimation issues using simulation and test data
Perform navigation error analysis, observability analysis, covariance analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and performance assessment




Support the implementation and integration of navigation algorithms on flight hardware and participate in SIL, PIL, and HIL testing and validation activities
Collaborate with GNC, flight software, systems, and mission design teams to integrate navigation solutions into the spacecraft

What We Look For
Minimum Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace, Electronics, Control Systems, or a related engineering discipline
1+ years of experience in spacecraft navigation, state estimation, GNSS/INS, robotics, or a related field
Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, C/C++, and/or Python
Strong understanding of estimation theory, Kalman filtering, state-space models, probability, and sensor fusion
Understanding of spacecraft navigation sensors such as GNSS, IMU, star trackers, and optical navigation sensors
Experience with numerical analysis, simulation, and algorithm development
You thrive in quick-paced, dynamic environments, adapt qu
