Systems Engineer, Aerospace / Aviation / Avionics
We’re working with a Space Tech company who are growing significantly after recent large contract wins.
They’re looking for a Lead GNC Engineer to take ownership of the GNC subsystem from early development through to flight.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape the architecture, make key technical decisions and build a GNC capability around a completely new spacecraft platform.
What You’ll Be Doing- Own the architecture and development of the GNC subsystem
- Define subsystem requirements, pointing budgets and alignments
- Develop GNC algorithms for implementation within flight software
- Lead modelling, simulation and Monte Carlo analysis
- Own GNC hardware trades and component selection
- Lead GNC verification and validation
- 5+ years of GNC experience
- Spacecraft, satellite or closely related aerospace experience
- Strong modelling and simulation capability
- Experience taking systems through a full engineering lifecycle
This could suit someone already operating as a GNC Lead, or a strong senior engineer ready to take broader technical ownership.
You’ll be joining a small engineering team where the work you do will have a very visible impact on the vehicle and mission.
