Job Description
Design the systems that guide satellites in orbit for new ambitious missions We are seeking an experienced AOCS/GNC Engineer to design, develop, and validate attitude determination, orbit control, and
Key Highlights
- Design and implement AOCS/GNC algorithms for attitude determination, control, and autonomous navigation across diverse mission profiles.
- Develop guidance and orbit-control strategies tailored to SSA, VLEO drag-dominated regimes, and deep-space trajectories.
- Model and simulate spacecraft dynamics, environmental disturbances, and sensor/actuator performance for mission-specific scenarios.
- Validate algorithms through high-fidelity simulations, Monte-Carlo analyses, and hardware-in-the-loop setups.
- Collaborate with systems, propulsion, and mission design teams to define control requirements and ensure end-to-end stability and performance.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- An MSc or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Astrodynamics, Control Systems, Applied Mathematics, or a related field. A PhD focused on GNC, spacecraft dynamics, or autonomous navigation is a strong plus.
- 3–5+ years of experience in AOCS/GNC algorithm design, simulation, and validation for spacecraft missions.
- Experience with attitude determination (gyro-stellar estimators, EKF/UKF), 3-axis control (sliding mode, PD/PID, LQR), and momentum management.
- Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for spacecraft dynamics modelling and Monte-Carlo analysis.
- Experience with C/C++ implementation of flight algorithms and familiarity with AOCS sensors and actuators (star trackers, IMUs, reaction wheels, magnetorquers, RCS thrusters).
- Exposure to ESA/ECSS project lifecycle and AOCS design reviews (PDR, CDR) is highly valued.
