Job description

We are working with a Hyper scaling aerospace technology startup seeking a Senior Guidance & Control Systems Engineer to develop advanced control algorithms for a next-generation spacecraft platform.

This opportunity is particularly suited to engineers from defense, autonomous systems, or high-performance aerospace platforms who have experience developing reliable control systems for demanding environments.

You'll work across control system design, simulation, state estimation, and real-time software integration, with significant ownership of the final system.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement closed-loop guidance and feedback control algorithms.
• Develop state estimation and sensor fusion systems for precise vehicle control.
• Model complex vehicle dynamics and evaluate performance under uncertainty.
• Integrate control algorithms into flight software and validate them through simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Required Qualifications

• Experience in guidance, navigation, control systems, or autonomous vehicle development.
• Strong understanding of feedback control, state estimation, and dynamic modeling.
• Experience designing and validating algorithms for real-world physical systems.

Nice to Have

• C++, Rust, or MATLAB.
• Background in defense aerospace, UAVs, autonomous platforms, or flight-critical software.
• Experience with 6-DOF simulation.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to apply your experience developing high-performance control systems to a new spacecraft platform.

You'll have the freedom to influence technical decisions, work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, and take ownership of algorithms from design through flight validation.

If you're an engineer from a defense or autonomous systems background who enjoys solving challenging control problems, we'd be interested in hearing about what you've built.
