GNC Engineer, SpaceActive$220K

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U. S.

What you'll do

• Work spacecraft GNC software and hardware subsystems for various spacecraft: efforts in all orbital regimes and work closely with bus providers for successful implementation

• Develop modern, software-defined approaches to autonomous spacecraft: operations with maneuvering capabilities to successfully accomplish mission objectives

• Develop appropriate test plans and procedures to validate the GNC system: during ground checkout, on-orbit commissioning and operations

• Collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality.

• Coordinate with end-users, other operators and customers to turn needs into: features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints.

• Support challenging schedules during ground testing, launch windows and: on-orbit operations of the spacecraft systems.

What they're looking for

• Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Python, Go, C++ and/or Linux systems.
• A desire to work on critical software and hardware designs in the space domain.
• Experience testing propulsion subsystems in laboratory environments that: mimic the space environmental constraints.
• Experience conducting spacecraft operations and satellite command and control: with an emphasis on system reliability and uptime.
• Experience with testing/validation leveraging FlatSats, Hardware-in-the-Loop: testbeds and digital spacecraft simulators through nominal and fault scenarios.
• Experience with computer vision and perception algorithms to support GNC operations.
• Experience developing 3-DOF simplified and 6-DOF high-fidelity dynamics: simulation models used for GNC systems analysis and validation.
• Exposure to US satellite operations policy and constraints for relevant mission threads in all orbits.
