The Senior GNC Controls Engineer will design, implement, and test closed-loop control systems for satellite pointing and station-keeping. This role involves developing high-fidelity satellite simulations to validate GNC controllers and performing rigorous performance validations through various methods.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement closed-loop control systems for satellites.
  • Develop high-fidelity satellite simulations for GNC controller validation.
  • Validate performance via software simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and on-orbit tests.
  • Conduct stability analysis in both time and frequency domains and tune control gains.
  • Support system identification using in-orbit telemetry to refine models.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams on large-scale projects.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • B.S. or higher in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in GNC, controls, or related disciplines.
  • Strong fundamentals in classical and modern control theory.
  • Proficiency in frequency-domain analysis: Bode, Nyquist, gain/phase margins.
  • Experience designing closed-loop control for dynamic systems.
  • Proficient in Python for algorithm development and simulation.
  • Skilled in C++ for onboard software development.
  • U.S. Citizenship or Green Card required.
