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
