Costa Mesa, California, United StatesManufacturing

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

  • Lead 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

  • 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 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.
  • Exposure to US satellite operations policy and constraints for relevant mission threads in all orbits.
