GNC Engineer

You'll join Muon's team to design and implement attitude control architectures and algorithms for spacecraft platforms in an embedded C++ environment. You'll define requirements for ACS algorithms and hardware, including roadmap development that unlocks new customer opportunities. You'll perform analysis and simulation of mission-specific performance, support performance trending and anomaly resolution of on-orbit systems including oncall duties, and support software- and hardware-in-the-loop test planning, execution, and validation. You'll use a systems mindset to collaborate across disciplines and help arrive at elegant, best-fit spacecraft designs.
