    Default job background
    Description
    Are you a mid-career spacecraft GNC engineer looking for a new challenge? Are you excited by the prospect of using your talents to build and protect the space economy of the future?


    As a level 3 Guidance, Navigation, and Control Engineer, you will be using your skills and expertise to design and analyze satellite hardware and software configurations, design and test GNC algorithms, build and test flight software, create and use design tools, build and analyze simulations, and more for various small satellite programs.

    Your technical duties involve the design, development, evaluation, and test of new products and software throughout the product lifecycle.


    The design of configurations and algorithms stem from understanding, analyzing and evaluating satellite and constellation capabilities, mission concepts, and system requirements.

    Your work will ensure we meet customer requirements by making data-driven decisions in architecting, planning, building and testing the design in a testbed prototype and subsequent delivery of the end product.

    Along the way, you will build tools and contribute to analyses of various architectures that include space vehicles, satellites, sensors, communications, and ground infrastructure; evolving or creating new approaches based on analysis results.

    You will also contribute to evaluating the mission effectiveness of the candidate approaches, balancing mission objectives against factors such as development and lifecycle costs.


    The successful candidate will have experience with at least several portions of the software life cycle (concept development, requirements definition, design, development, testing, and deployment).

    Additionally, the successful candidate will have experience doing GN&C-related analysis such as performance analysis, multi-sensor fusion and estimation/filtering, sensor processing and/or other advanced GN&C analyses.

    This individual has a strong working knowledge of Matlab and Simulink and experience with code development.

    Object-oriented design using the C and C++ languages is a plus, as is having experience in deploying and testing flight code on embedded processors.

    Experience with Agile Scrum is desired. Local area travel between Louisville and Centennial may be required.


    Sierra Space-based in Louisville, CO with operations in Madison, WI, Durham, NC, Huntsville, AL, Houston, TX, and Kennedy Space Center, FL-designs and manufactures the Dream Chaser spaceplane and other advanced spacecraft, commercial space destinations, satellites, propulsion and environmental systems, spacecraft subsystems and components for the U.S.
