Senior GNC Engineer

A well-backed space company is hiring a Senior GNC Engineer to help take ownership of the algorithms and systems that fly their rockets. This is a tight-knit team that designs, simulates, and tests the full guidance, navigation, and control stack across their orbital launch vehicles. This role is ideal for someone who’s already developed GNC algorithms in a fast-paced environment, and wants broader ownership over how those systems behave in the real world. You won’t just be writing code in a vacuum. You’ll be defining requirements, collaborating with cross-functional teams, helping with component and interface decisions, supporting launches from mission control, and tuning models based on live test and flight data. The company is small enough that your work has real impact, but mature enough that launches are routine and the flight software is solid. If you’re looking for hands-on, end-to-end GNC work on systems that fly, this is worth a look.
