Lead / Senior GNC Engineer

Lead / Senior GNC Engineer (Satellites / Spacecraft) Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Employment Type: Full-Time | On-Site Package: Competitive Salary + Equity + Benefits + Flexible PTO Are you a GNC Engineer with strong experience across ADCS, orbital mechanics, and flight operations, looking to take ownership of full mission lifecycle delivery? On offer is the opportunity to join a high-growth space company building next-generation satellite platforms through advanced computational engineering. You’ll lead the development of GNC systems from early mission design through to on-orbit operations, playing a critical role in ensuring spacecraft reach and maintain their intended trajectories. Join a team redefining satellite engineering with a first-principles approach, combining advanced simulation, rapid design iteration, and integrated hardware/software development. You’ll work across orbit design, control systems, propulsion integration, and live mission operations, owning the GNC function end-to-end. This position would suit a hands-on GNC engineer who enjoys both deep technical work and leadership responsibility, someone comfortable moving from simulation and modelling into real-world flight operations.
