As a Senior GNC Engineer on Anduril’s Space team, you will lead the design and implementation of guidance, navigation, and control subsystems for various spacecraft in different orbital regimes such as LEO, MEO, GEO, Reentry, and RPOD. Your daily tasks include developing flight software, algorithms, and simulation products, creating test plans to validate GNC systems during ground checkout and on-orbit operations, and designing autonomy tools for dynamic space missions. You will collaborate closely with Systems, Flight Software, Mission Operations, and Ground Software teams to ensure successful integration and validation of spacecraft components. The role requires expertise in MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C++, Go, and Linux systems, along with a strong background in aerospace engineering, dynamics and controls, orbital mechanics, and control theory. Experience in testing propulsion subsystems under space environmental constraints is preferred.
