Anduril Industries, Inc.
ABOUT THE JOB
As a GNC (Guidance, Navigation & Control) Engineer for our Space team, you will work on and understand the design of all satellite GNC subsystems to include but not limited to hardware sensors and actuators, orbit mechanics, navigation algorithms, flight software implementation, subsystem integration & test (I&T), and vehicle I&T. The GNC engineering team will work closely with related teams, including Systems, Flight Software, Mission Operations, and Ground Software. The Sr. GNC Engineer will help lead successful implementation, validation and GNC operations of Anduril’s fleet of spacecraft. This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril’s Space Business Line. The programs require building and fielding a resilient, software-defined spacecraft systems across numerous mission threads. We work with mission partners and customers to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally-relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD and IC. WHAT YOU’LL DO
Work spacecraft GNC software and hardware subsystems for various spacecraft efforts in all orbital regimes and work closely with bus providers for successful implementation Develop modern, software-defined approaches to autonomous spacecraft operations with maneuvering capabilities to successfully accomplish mission objectives Develop appropriate test plans and procedures to validate the GNC system during ground checkout, on-orbit commissioning and operations Collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality Coordinate with end-users, other operators and customers to turn needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints Support challenging schedules during ground testing, launch windows and on-orbit operations of the spacecraft systems Design of flight software, algorithms, and simulation products Development of spacecraft autonomy tools for dynamic space operations Test process development and execution Define automated fault detection and responses Provide hardware-in-the-loop and monte-carlo simulation capabilities REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in Aerospace Engineering, Dynamics and Controls Engineering, Computer Science, or other engineering degree Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C++, Go, and/or Linux Systems Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and detailed requirements Experience with orbital mechanics and resident space object tracking capabilities Familiarity with rendezvous proximity operations and docking, orbital mechanics with propulsive spacecraft, and/or spacecraft attitude determination and controls Strong knowledge of spacecraft dynamics, orbital mechanics, and control theory Clear communication and organizational skills including documentation and training material Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Python, Go, C++ and/or Linux systems A desire to work on critical software and hardware designs in the space domain Experience testing propulsion subsystems in laboratory environments that mimic the space environmental constraints Experience conducting spacecraft operations and satellite command and control with an emphasis on system reliability and uptime Experience with testing/validation leveraging FlatSats, Hardware-in-the-Loop testbeds and digital spacecraft simulators through nominal and fault scenarios Experience with computer vision and perception algorithms to support GNC operations Experience developing 3-DOF simplified and 6-DOF high-fidelity dynamics simulation models used for GNC systems analysis and validation Exposure to US satellite operations policy and constraints for relevant mission threads in all orbits US Salary Range $138,000 - $207,000 USD US Hourly Range $168,000 - $252,000 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: Platinum Healthcare Benefits: For U.S. roles, we offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to you. Basic Life/AD&D and long-term disability insurance 100% covered by Anduril, plus the option to purchase additional life insurance for you and your dependents. Extremely generous company holiday calendar including a holiday hiatus in December, and highly competitive PTO plans. 16 weeks of paid Caregiver & Wellness Leave to care for a family member, bond with your baby, or tend to your own medical condition. Family Planning & Parenting Support: Fertility (eg, IVF, preservation), adoption, and gestational carrier coverage with additional benefits and resources to provide support from planning to parenting Mental Health Resources: free mental health resources 24/7 including therapy, life coaching, and more A professional development stipend is available to all Andurilians Daily Meals and Provisions: breakfast, lunch and fully stocked micro-kitchens in many offices Company-funded commuter benefits available based on your region Relocation assistance (depending on role eligibility) 401(k) retirement savings plan - traditional and Roth 401(k) (US roles only) The recruiter assigned to this role can share more information about the specific compensation and benefit details associated with this role during the hiring process. Anduril is an equal-opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law. We actively encourage members of recognized minorities, women, Veterans, and those with disabilities to apply, and we work to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all applicants throughout the interview process.
