About this role

The Opportunity

As a Senior GNC Engineer, you will be part of the small team that develops the control, estimation, and guidance algorithms that fly our rockets. You’ll be deeply involved in all aspects of GNC, but will also work closely with all teams to ensure that the rocket is designed and tested to launch, fly, and deploy its payload to the target orbit.

How You'll Fulfill Your Mission

  • Develop: create GNC algorithms, simulation models, and trajectories
  • Analyze: use ground test and flight data to verify system performance and improve the fidelity of the simulation
  • Refine: tune controllers and guidance algorithms to meet GNC requirements
  • Test: build out test automation across Simulink simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, engine test cells, and integrated vehicles
  • Fly: support launch from mission control and fulfill GNC responsibilities during the countdown
