GNC Engineer

Join a team developing autonomous spacecraft technologies for operations in complex orbital environments. As a Software Engineer within the GNC team, you will design and develop state estimation and prediction algorithms that enable spacecraft to track, understand, and anticipate the behaviour of objects in space.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop state estimation and trajectory prediction algorithms for autonomous spacecraft
• Build machine learning models for trajectory forecasting and behavioural analysis
• Integrate estimation and prediction capabilities into simulation and autonomy systems
• Collaborate with perception, autonomy, and software teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions

Requirements

• Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or similar
• 2+ years' experience in GNC, robotics, aerospace, autonomy, or related fields
• Strong C++ and Python skills
• Experience with state estimation techniques and machine learning frameworks (PyTorch or Tensor Flow)
• Familiarity with orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, or dynamic systems
• Real-time or safety-critical systems development
• GPU acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT)
• Linux, Git, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes
• Multi-threading and performance optimisation

This is an opportunity to solve challenging autonomy and GNC problems at the intersection of aerospace, AI, and advanced software engineering.
