Job description

You will design and build the flight control systems for rockets. You'll take your designs from concept all the way through simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and live flight test.
What You'll Do
  • Design flight control systems for rockets using thrust vector control, aerodynamic surfaces, and novel actuation approaches
  • Develop and tune control laws (PID, LQR, nonlinear — whatever the problem calls for)
  • Build high-fidelity simulations of your control systems and the vehicles they fly on
  • Run hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to validate your designs
  • See your work perform in the real world and feed those results back into your next design
What We're Looking For
  • Strong background in control theory and flight dynamics
  • Experience implementing and validating control systems in simulation
  • Comfort working across the hardware/software boundary — you understand both the math and the implementation
  • You like to iterate fast and test often, not wait for perfection
  • Bonus: experience with missile guidance or state estimation

This role is for engineers who want to close the loop — not just model a system, but actually fly it. There's nothing quite like that first flight test.
