Description

Description:
We’re seeking a Senior GNC Simulation and Algorithms Engineer to design, develop, and validate high-fidelity simulations and control algorithms for advanced aerospace systems. This role is ideal for an engineer with strong analytical skills and hands-on experience in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) who thrives at the intersection of modeling, coding, and flight system development.

Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain 6-DOF attitude and orbit simulations, including modeling of spacecraft dynamics, environmental disturbances, and sensor/actuator behavior
  • Perform Monte Carlo analyses to evaluate system performance and robustness
  • Design and implement control algorithms (PID, LQR, optimal controllers) and state estimators (Kalman filters)
  • Conduct Monte Carlo simulations for performance validation, fault injection, and design robustness
  • Conduct system identification and model validation from flight or test data
  • Write, test, and optimize algorithms in MATLAB and C++
  • Collaborate in a Git-based, Linux development environment alongside multidisciplinary teams
