The opportunity

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

  • Assist in the design and tuning of spacecraft GNC algorithms, including: attitude determination and control (ADCS), orbit determination, and maneuver planning.

  • Develop, maintain, and run 3-DOF and 6-DOF physics-based simulation: environments to validate vehicle performance and conduct Monte Carlo analyses.

  • Collaborate with the Flight Software team to implement, test, and verify GNC: algorithms in embedded C++ or Python environments.

  • Support subsystem and vehicle-level testing on FlatSats and: Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) testbeds, identifying anomalies and verifying sensor/actuator performance.

  • Cross collaborate with other Space Engineering teams like Flight Software,: Systems Engineering, and Hardware teams to turn mission requirements into functional flight capability.

What they're looking for

  • Hands-on experience with satellite design, integration, or operations via: university CubeSat missions or aerospace industry internships.
  • Familiarity with state estimation techniques (e.g., Extended Kalman Filters): and common GNC hardware (star trackers, IMUs, reaction wheels, torque rods, propulsion systems).
  • Exposure to Linux environments, Git version control, and continuous integration (CI) workflows.
  • Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) testbeds, FlatSat environments, or physical lab test equipment.
  • Familiarity with orbital rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking (RPOD) concepts.
