They would use a “systems mindset” to be a multiplier when collaborating with other disciplines to arrive at an elegant, best-fit spacecraft design.
- This position can be performed remotely from an approved location.
- Design and implement guidance, navigation & control architectures and algorithms in an embedded C++ environment
- Define requirements for ADCS algorithms, hardware, and related systems - both for existing missions as well as roadmap development that unlock new customer opportunities
- Perform analysis and simulation of mission-specific GNC performance
- Collaborate on the development of ground-processing algorithms for sensor calibration
- Collaborate on the development of an offline geolocation processing pipeline
- Support anomaly resolution of on-orbit systems, including oncall duties
- Support software- and hardware-in-the-loop test planning, execution, and validation
Требования
- PhD or Master’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering or equivalent plus at least 2-3 years of professional experience, OR several years of experience hands-on with GNC analysis and design
- Software skills in C++
- Knowledge of control and optimization theory
- Expertise in common numerical programming environments (Python, Julia, MATLAB)
- Experience designing, analyzing, and implementing ADCS/GNC subsystems for spacecraft
- Excellent communication, presentation, and coordination skills
- Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with new opportunities each week
