Join our dynamic team as a GNC Engineer for Starship, where you will develop cutting-edge guidance, navigation, and control systems for advanced rockets. You’ll work closely with skilled engineers to design, analyze, and test subsystems that ensure reliable flight operations, contributing to missions beyond Earth’s orbit. Key responsibilities include implementing new software algorithms, conducting hardware-in-the-loop testing, and analyzing vehicle dynamics using 6-DOF simulation models. Proficiency in Python or C++ is essential, along with a strong background in control systems, orbital mechanics, and classical dynamics. Ideal candidates have a postgraduate degree and at least two years of professional experience in related fields, demonstrating the ability to solve complex problems independently or as part of an integrated team.
