Spacecraft GN&C Engineer - TS/SCI Onsite

MassGenics, Inc.; Seal Beach (CA); On-site; USD 138,000 - 186,000; Full time

Job summary

Innova Solutions is immediately hiring for a Guidance Navigation & Control Engineer with a strong background in GN&C for aerospace platforms. The role focuses on designing, validating, and integrating GN&C algorithms, simulations, and flight software using MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++, Python or C#.

Onsite in Seal Beach, this 12-month contract requires TS/SCI clearance and a relevant engineering degree. The position emphasizes cross-functional collaboration with systems engineering, avionics, and test

Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI clearance required.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or a related field.
• Engineering experience with aircraft, missile, spacecraft, autonomous platform, or similar vehicles.
• Proficiency with MATLAB and Simulink.
• Proficiency developing GN&C algorithms, models and simulations.
• Experience developing with C/C++, Python or C#.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for spacecraft, re-entry vehicles, and hypersonic/airborne platforms.
• Develop and maintain 6 DOF dynamics simulations and associated analysis tools for mission and performance assessment.
• Implement and validate GN&C flight software (MATLAB/Simulink models and C/C++ prototypes) and integrate with testbeds and avionics.
• Apply astrodynamics and flight mechanics to mission design, novel orbit concepts, and trajectory optimization.
• Apply aerodynamics, atmospheric flight mechanics, and controls knowledge to support the design of re-entry guidance, navigation, and flight control functions.
• Develop powered and unpowered guidance laws and autonomy tools for on orbit and atmospheric operations.
• Support troubleshooting of operational anomalies, functional tests, and service incidents.
• Produce concepts of operations, simulation artifacts, and test procedures to enable rapid iteration from prototype to flight test.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams (systems engineering, avionics, test, and business development) and communicate technical tradeoffs to stakeholders.
• Independently identify inefficiencies, propose solutions, and implement reusable tools and automations.
