Responsibilities
- Develop and own our 6-DOF simulation for understanding vehicle attitude, station-keeping, and orbital performance.
- Design and implement controllers on hardware going to space by actually writing software yourself
- Use simulation to constrain and inform ADCS design
- Work closely with avionics engineers to have performant, reliable attitude determination and control
- Analyze orbits, constellation designs, trajectories and attitude motion profiles to maximize vehicle service performance
- Contribute to high-level vehicle architecture decisions
- Support prototyping, implement controllers on prototype hardware
- Come up with creative solutions to novel problems that surround precisely putting a spot of reflected sunlight on the ground from space
Ideal Qualifications
- Clear prior technical ownership of functioning vehicle controllers and sim
- Experience bringing up sim environments from scratch, opinionated/familiar with best practices.
- Experience with implementing attitude control and/or estimation algorithms on spacecraft
- Experience with verification and validation of GNC flight software in an integrated environment, leveraging 6-DOF simulation and HITL testing.
