GNC Lead Engineer

Impel Talent is excited to partner with one of the largest space companies in Europe on building a team focused on the GNC strategy for an unmanned, state-of-the-art reusable space vehicle. This is the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology. You will be in charge of coordinating the Orbital GNC and Navigation unit, leading a team of 3-4 people to design, validate, and qualify GNC algorithms for orbital platforms, service modules, and navigation units. Responsibilities: Derivation of GNC/AOCS specifications from high-level requirements. R&D relating to algorithms in the field of control, pointing, and navigation. Writing/modifying SW prototypes, modeling of dynamics, disturbances, and complex systems (6dof model and multibody). Drafting validation plans for test campaigns, including Hardware-In-The-Loop test campaigns. Verification of performances in closed and open loop. The following management activities fall within the role: Coordination of resources and planning of AOCS & NAV team activities. Coordination with the different Technical Authorities of the various disciplines. Interface with external teams, both institutional (ESA, ASI) and commercial (Subcos). Management of the formal flow of activities for the preparation of the different reviews. You will report directly to the team leader of the MGS group (Flight Mechanics / GNC / Flight Software). Technical Requirements: Master's degree in aerospace or aeronautical engineering. Years of experience in projects related to GNC design/validation of satellite systems/orbital platforms/navigation. Solid basic preparation transversal to the various disciplines of the aerospace field (orbital flight mechanics, GNC, solid and liquid propulsion, structures, thermal). If you are interested, apply immediately as interviews begin Mid-January. In case you have questions, please reach out to Nathaniel at Nathaniel.Chapmanimpeltalent.com. J-18808-Ljbffr
