Description
Darwin Recruitment are looking for a Senior GNC Engineer for a business in Los Angeles.
Responsibilities
* Develop and own our 6-DOF simulation for understanding vehicle attitude, station-keeping, and orbital performance.
* Design and implement controllers on hardware going to space by actually writing software yourself
* Use simulation to constrain and inform ADCS design
* Work closely with avionics engineers to have performant, reliable attitude determination and control
* Analyze orbits, constellation designs, trajectories and attitude motion profiles to maximize vehicle service performance
* Contribute to high-level vehicle architecture decisions
* Support prototyping, implement controllers on prototype hardware
* Come up with creative solutions to novel problems that surround precisely putting a spot of reflected sunlight on the ground from space
Ideal Qualifications
* Clear prior technical ownership of functioning vehicle controllers and sim (I designed and simulated the GNC for "xyz" vehicle)
* Experience bringing up sim environments from scratch, opinionated/familiar with best practices.
* Experience with implementing attitude control and/or estimation algorithms on spacecraft
* Experience with verification and validation of GNC flight software in an integrated environment, leveraging 6-DOF simulation and HITL testing.
