Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior GNC (Guidance, Navigation & Control) Engineer to join its Space team, which develops AI-powered satellite systems and command-and-control capabilities for U.S. military and allied partners. The Space team is expanding Anduril's Lattice OS platform into space domain awareness, space control, and military command and control, building fully integrated hardware and software systems including modular payloads for contested warfighting environments.
In this role, you will design and develop all aspects of satellite GNC subsystems, including hardware sensors and actuators, orbit mechanics, navigation algorithms, flight software implementation, subsystem integration and test (I&T), and vehicle-level I&T. You will collaborate closely with Systems, Flight Software, Mission Operations, and Ground Software teams to deliver spacecraft across multiple orbital regimes (LEO, MEO, GEO, reentry, and rendezvous/proximity operations/docking).
Key responsibilities include: developing spacecraft GNC software and hardware subsystems; creating modern, software-defined approaches to autonomous spacecraft operations; designing flight software, algorithms, and simulation products; developing spacecraft autonomy tools for dynamic space operations; creating and executing test plans and procedures for ground checkout, on-orbit commissioning, and operations; coordinating with end-users and customers to translate mission needs into features; supporting challenging schedules during ground testing, launch windows, and on-orbit operations; defining automated fault detection and response systems; and providing hardware-in-the-loop and Monte Carlo simulation capabilities.
This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded defense programs requiring resilient, software-defined spacecraft systems on operationally-relevant fielding timelines. You will work with mission partners and customers across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community to deploy reliable capabilities that address complex national security challenges.
