  • Design and implementation of autonomous satellite attitude control, collision avoidance, orbital rendezvous, burn planning and atmospheric re-entry algorithms
  • Perform trajectory design, optimization, and dispersion analysis for the reentry of a space capsule
Basic Qualifications
  • Previous GNC internship 
  • Familiar with orbital mechanics, flight dynamics, trajectory design and optimization, feedback controls, 6DOF flight simulations, navigation solutions, guidance navigation and controls flight algorithms, monte carlo analysis, 
  • Familiarity with C++ or python and modern software development principles 
Preferred Skills And Experience  
  • At least one year of experience on a technical project team (e.g., CubeSat, Rocket Team, AIAA Design-Build-Fly, Formula SAE)
  • Previous experience working on simulation support tools or GNC tooling for aerospace vehicles
  • Familiarity with Monte Carlo analysis, navigation filters, sensor/actuator integration, or HIL simulation environments
  • Experience with tools like GMAT, POST2, MATLAB/Simulink, or custom orbital simulation frameworks
  • Strong communication and documentation skills
