GNC Performance Engineer I

• Carry out analysis for engineering design trades and driving design decisions based on the results.
• Implement, maintain, and improve software tooling in a variety of languages, ranging from core simulation capabilities to peripheral analysis utilities.
• Maintain, establish, and sometimes lead cross-functional collaboration with key teams across Vehicle Engineering.

The Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) and Performance teams are responsible for defining and analyzing how Terran R flies, from liftoff to landing. The work combines a variety of disciplines such as advanced modeling, orbital mechanics, software development, and dynamic systems to optimize every phase of flight. You’ll develop flight algorithms, simulate trajectories, and model Terran R’s dynamic behavior across mission profiles. Whether you're early in your career or a seasoned expert, you’ll have the opportunity to own critical pieces of the system, influence design, and see your work fly.
