Responsibilities:

Perform system-level design to support a novel distributed satellite constellation
Investigate unique methods for satellite state estimation and control
Develop models and create simulation environments to analyze spacecraft behavior
Generate algorithms, techniques, and methods to achieve coordinate spacecraft maneuvers
Create spacecraft hardware requirements, specifications, and test procedures
Develop and implement test plans for hardware verification and validation

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or physics
4+ years of experience in control system design
Excellent teamwork and communication skills
Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints

Preferred Skills and Experience:

Master’s degree or PHD in engineering with an emphasis in control system design
4+ years of experience in system-level GNC modeling
4+ years of experience in working on hands-on hardware design and implementation
Proficient in MATLAB, Simulink, C/C++, and/or Python
Experience developing and deploying control systems for real world applications
Experience with classical, modern, and optimal control theory
Experience designing and implementing GNC algorithms
Experience performing system error budget analysis for spacecraft attitude control
Experience performing orbital modeling, prediction, and optimization
Knowledge of spacecraft ADCS sensors, actuators and control methods
Knowledge of orbital mechanics, including rendezvous and formation flight algorithms
Experience working in a lab and using laboratory test equipment
