Job Description

Xdlinx Space Labs seeking a Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GNC) Manager to take a key role in the design, development, simulation, testing of our attitude controls system. The role focuses on development, tuning, and validation of mission-critical flight control algorithms and software and maintenance and improvement of our high-fidelity GNC simulation tools.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Design, implement, tune, test, and operate satellite control algorithms and flight software.
  • Maintain and expand high-fidelity 6-DOF GNC simulation tools, including the implementation of new dynamics, environment, and hardware models.
  • Collaborate with software engineers to integrate controls software into flight software stack.
  • Apply rigorous software configuration management processes.
  • Build and utilize software tools to process and analyze telemetry for performance assessment, and ground/in-orbit verifications.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to provide domain expertise and support integration efforts.
  • Contribute to engineering reviews and generate clear detailed technical documentation and test reports.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Masters + 5 years / PhD + 2 years in Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent, with work experience in relevant fields.
  • Familiarity with attitude estimation, including attitude sensors (IMUs, magnetometers, GNSS, star cameras, etc.), Kalman filters, and related estimation and fusion algorithms.
  • Proven experience owning the design and deployment of advanced control algorithms in safety-critical applications such as aerospace or ground vehicles, including classical, optimal (LQR, MPC), and robust control.
  • Familiarity with modelling and tuning GNC-related software models for actuators, sensors, kinematics/dynamics, and environment.
  • Experience with model-based validation of end-to-end control systems from stability analysis and model-in-the-loop simulations to Monte Carlo campaigns and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Hands-on experience with C++, Matlab/Simulink, Python, Git and Linux.
  • Strong practical skills in building and debugging complex software and algorithms.
  • Strong initiative, with excellent teamwork, communication, and documentation skills; comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Experience with space industry practices: design, qualification, acceptance, integration, operations.
  • Experience with machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques.
