Senior GNC Engineer, Space

Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C++, Go, and/or Linux Systems.

Experience conducting spacecraft operations and satellite command and control with an emphasis on system reliability and uptime.

Experience with orbital mechanics and resident space object tracking capabilities.

Experience developing 3-DOF simplified and 6-DOF high-fidelity dynamics simulation models used for GNC systems analysis and validation.

Familiarity with rendezvous proximity operations and docking, orbital mechanics with propulsive spacecraft, spacecraft attitude determination and controls.

A desire to work on critical software and hardware designs in the space domain.

GNC (Guidance, Navigation & Control) Engineer for our Space team, you own the understanding and design of all satellite GNC subsystems to include but not limited to hardware sensors and actuators, orbit mechanics, navigation algorithms, flight software implementation, subsystem integration & test (I&T), and vehicle I&T.

The GNC engineering team will work closely with related teams, including Systems, Flight Software, Mission Operations, and Ground Software.

GNC Engineer will lead algorithm design, truth and physics modeling, simulation and analysis for a wide variety of spacecraft and space missions to include but not limited to LEO, MEO, GEO, Reentry, and RPOD (Rendezvous Proximity Operations and Docking).

GNC Engineer will help lead successful implementation, validation and GNC operations of Anduril’s fleet of spacecraft.

This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril’s Space Business Line.

The programs require building and fielding a resilient, software-defined spacecraft systems across numerous mission threads.

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. military and allied partners. We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested warfighting domain.
