As a GNC Engineer - Embedded Controls, AI Satellites (Starmind), you will join the Guidance, Navigation, and Control team to develop robust and precise pointing for satellites, payloads, propulsion systems, and mechanisms. You will be responsible for vehicle design trades, simulation, flight software implementation, and deploying features in space. Your daily work involves designing and implementing electromechanical control systems like solar array actuators, antenna gimbals, and high bandwidth active optics, alongside attitude control and momentum management systems. You will also manage fluid and power system controls for hall thrusters and perform state estimation for mechanical alignment. The role requires proficiency in C++, Python, and Matlab to develop high fidelity simulations. Key technical requirements include expertise in linear closed loop controls, state space and frequency domain methods, Kalman filters, and rigid body dynamics within the context of orbital mechanics.
