GNC Engineer - Navigation Sensors and Algorithms

You will own the navigation and sensing chain that tells K2 spacecraft where they are, how they are oriented, from the physical sensor hardware all the way to the estimation algorithms and flight software executing those algorithms. This is a blend of a hands-on hardware and software role, requiring you to be the GNC point of contact with Avionics, flight software, and Test teams. In the first 6 months, you will help to design and characterize the software driver for the GNSS receivers, standing up develop testing to validate GNSS performance and link budgets as a function of altitude, and feeding these learnings back into both hardware and on board filter design.
