Lumicity
Recruitment Leader | Driving Career Growth in Aerospace, Defense, Space & Semiconductors
About Us
We’re a small but ambitious space company building the next generation of spacecraft systems. Our team is tight-knit, fast-moving, and passionate about turning bold ideas into flight-ready hardware. If you want to make a direct impact on real missions—and see your work go to space—this is the place for you.
The Role
We’re looking for a
GNC Engineer
to take a leading role in developing the algorithms, software, and flight‑ready logic that ensure our vehicles know where they are, where they’re going, and how to get there safely.
You’ll own GNC functionality end-to-end: modeling, simulation, analysis, implementation, and testing. Expect hands‑on work, close collaboration with avionics, software, and mission design teams, and opportunities to shape the core architecture of our flight systems.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement GNC algorithms including state estimation, attitude determination, and control laws
Develop and maintain high‑fidelity simulation environments
Perform mission and trajectory analysis for spacecraft maneuvers
Work closely with software and avionics teams to integrate and verify flight software
Support hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing, environmental testing, and flight readiness activities
Analyze flight data and support anomaly resolution
Contribute to shaping architectures, standards, and best practices across the GNC domain
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Applied Mathematics, or related field
Strong background in classical and modern control theory
Experience with state estimation (e.g., Kalman filtering, EKF/UKF)
Proficiency in Python, C++, and/or MATLAB/Simulink
Experience with spacecraft or robotic systems modeling/simulation
Excellent problem‑solving ability and comfort owning complex technical challenges
Ability to thrive in a small‑team, high‑responsibility environment
Nice to Have
Experience with attitude determination sensors and actuators (e.g., reaction wheels, star trackers, IMUs)
Knowledge of orbital mechanics and mission analysis tools
Hardware‑in‑the‑loop or real‑time systems experience
Flight software or embedded systems background
Previous experience in small‑sat or launch vehicle programs
Why Join Us
Direct ownership of mission‑critical systems
No red tape—your ideas and decisions matter
Opportunities to see your work tested, launched, and flown
Competitive compensation, equity options, and flexible work arrangements
Seniority Level
Mid‑Senior level
Employment Type
Full‑time
Job Function
Design, Engineering, and Manufacturing
Industries
Defense and Space Manufacturing, Space Research and Technology, and Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing
