    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.

    With more than 30 years and 500 missions of space flight heritage, Sierra Space is enabling the future of space transportation with Dream Chaser, the world's only winged commercial spaceplane.

    Expected to launch in 2023 on a series of NASA missions, Dream Chaser can safely carry cargo – and eventually crew – to on-orbit destinations, returning to land on compatible commercial airport runways worldwide.

    Sierra Space is also building the LIFE habitat, a three-story commercial habitation and science platform designed for low Earth orbit (LEO).

    Both Dream Chaser and LIFE are central components to Orbital Reef, a mixed-use business park in LEO being developed by principal partners Sierra Space and Blue Origin, which is expected to be operational by 2027.
