Lead Guidance, Navigation, and Controls Engineer

Overview

You will own Wardstone’s guidance, navigation, and control stack, including the algorithms, simulations, and flight software that make our interceptors hit their targets.

You’ll make the core architecture decisions, including the guidance laws, the estimation approach, and the actuation strategy. You’ll set the controllability requirements that shape the vehicle. You’ll work directly with the founders and with the seeker, propulsion, mechanical, and avionics engineers. You’ll take GNC from simulation through hardware-in-the-loop testing to live intercepts.
