Senior GNC Robotics Engineer

Role Overview

You will play a key role within our engineering team, contributing to the development of advanced Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems for robotic space missions. Your role will encompass designing, implementing, and validating GNC algorithms and robotic systems that operate reliably in challenging space environments.

What You Will Do

Design, develop, implement and test Guidance, Navigation and Control algorithms for rover and robotic manipulator operations as part of flight and/or ground segment operations. Lead and participate in concept studies, requirements analysis, design trade-off studies, architecting, software design and implementation for space robotic GN&C solutions.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will be exposed to a wide variety of tasks with the potential to make a difference in the emerging space economy, so you must be a versatile self-starter who works well in teams and is not afraid to learn something new. You will be part of a team of engineers, scientists, and space enthusiasts, who are passionate about being part of humanity’s next bold steps in space exploration.
