The Spacecraft GNC Engineer will support work at the Naval Research Laboratory, focusing on the guidance, navigation, and control of space vehicles. The engineer will perform analysis and design of systems, including the architecture of space vehicle guidance and pointing systems. Daily responsibilities involve performing monte carlo analysis of free-flying space vehicle clusters, developing GNC algorithms, and collaborating with machine learning and autonomy experts for autonomous operations. Required technical skills include proficiency with momentum-exchange devices, reaction control systems, Inertial Measurement Units, and optical guidance systems. Candidates must possess working knowledge of spacecraft stability analysis, quaternions, attitude determination, and state estimation techniques like Kalman filtering. The role requires strong proficiency in data analysis tools such as MATLAB and Simulink to solve complex trajectory modeling and free-body modeling problems.
