Senior GNC Engineer

Build the GNC systems behind the next generation of spacecraft.

EVONA is partnering with a fast-growing New Space company developing mission-configurable spacecraft for a range of orbital and deep-space missions.

The business has secured $380M+ in funding
, including an $80M Series A and a recent $300M PIPE deal. With approximately 120 employees and significant hiring plans, they're scaling their engineering teams to support multiple new spacecraft programs.

We're looking for a Senior GNC Engineer who wants to design and develop new systems from the ground up, rather than maintain legacy architectures.

• Design, develop and validate spacecraft guidance, navigation and control algorithms.
• Develop attitude determination and control systems, including sensor and actuator modelling.
• Build and maintain high-fidelity spacecraft dynamics and 6
  
  DOF simulation environments.
• Develop and test control laws, estimation algorithms and spacecraft flight software.
• Support SIL/HIL testing, subsystem integration and flight qualification.
• Collaborate with flight software, avionics, systems and mission engineering teams.
• Support spacecraft missions through development, launch and operations.

• Professional experience developing GNC systems for spacecraft or satellites.
• Strong background in spacecraft attitude dynamics, control systems and state estimation.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and spacecraft modelling or simulation.
• Familiarity with spacecraft sensors, actuators and embedded flight software.
• Experience taking GNC algorithms through integration and testing.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++ or Python.
• Experience with flight-proven spacecraft systems is highly desirable.
• RPO or proximity operations experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

• $130K–$180K base + equity
• $380M+ in funding
• Work on multiple new spacecraft missions
• Genuine greenfield GNC development
• Fast-growing engineering organisation
• Relocation assistance available
