Anduril Industries
Overview
Join to apply for the
GNC Trajectory Engineer, Space
role at
Anduril Industries . Anduril Industries is a defense technology company focused on transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. Anduril’s Space team is expanding AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. We’re developing integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space. About the job scope includes designing and evaluating guidance algorithms, building offline simulations, and translating algorithms into flight code to support Anduril’s fleet of spacecraft across various orbital regimes. What You’ll Do
Support algorithm selection and design for space trajectories that inform mission and constellation design. Develop and field simulation solutions that demonstrate mission closure to key customer requirements. Contribute to Anduril Mission Simulation and Lattice for Space capability enhancements. Field solutions to spacecraft GNC software and hardware subsystems for various spacecraft efforts and collaborate with bus providers for successful implementation. Develop software-defined approaches to autonomous spacecraft operations with maneuvering capabilities to accomplish mission objectives. Create test plans and procedures to validate the GNC system during ground checkout, on-orbit commissioning and operations. Collaborate across teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality. Coordinate with end-users and customers to translate needs into features while balancing user experience with engineering constraints. Support challenging schedules during ground testing, launch windows, and on-orbit operations. Design flight software, algorithms, and simulation products. Develop spacecraft autonomy tools for dynamic space operations. Develop test processes and execution strategies; 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 Astrodynamics, Aerospace Engineering, Dynamics and Controls Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields. Ability to 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 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
Strong astrodynamics background applied to simulation systems. Experience with Matlab, Python, Go, C++ and/or Linux systems. Experience developing ground-up simulation frameworks for rapid mission prototyping, constellation and CONOP design. Interest in critical simulation and software designs for the space domain. Experience testing and delivering algorithms for simulation and flight environments. Experience with genetic algorithms, machine learning, AI, and reinforcement learning to support GNC operations. Exposure to US satellite operations policy and constraints for relevant mission threads in all orbits. Salary and Benefits
US Salary Range:
$138,000—$207,000 USD Benefits: Anduril offers competitive benefits for full-time employees, including healthcare, life insurance, PTO, caregiver and wellness leave, parental support, mental health resources, professional development stipends, daily meals or provisions where available, commuter benefits, relocation assistance (where eligible), and 401(k) plans (US roles only). The recruiter assigned to this role can share more information about compensation and benefit details during the hiring process. Equal Opportunity
Anduril is an equal-opportunity employer committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will be considered 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.
