What are Remote Spacecraft GNC Engineers?

Remote Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineers are professionals who design, analyze, and implement systems that control the movement and orientation of spacecraft. Working remotely, they use specialized software and simulations to develop algorithms, test hardware-in-the-loop systems, and ensure the spacecraft can follow a desired trajectory or remain stable in space. These engineers collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure mission success, often handling tasks like attitude determination, sensor integration, and autonomous navigation from a remote location. Their work is essential for both crewed and uncrewed space missions.

What are some common challenges faced by Remote Spacecraft GNC Engineers, and how can they be addressed?

Remote Spacecraft GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) Engineers often face unique challenges such as collaborating across multiple time zones, ensuring secure data transmission, and troubleshooting complex issues without physical access to hardware. Overcoming these challenges typically involves leveraging robust communication tools, detailed documentation, and simulation environments to test and validate algorithms. Building strong relationships with multidisciplinary teams and maintaining proactive communication are essential for resolving issues efficiently when working remotely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Spacecraft GNC Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Spacecraft GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) Engineer, you need a solid background in aerospace engineering, control systems, and applied mathematics, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Expertise in simulation tools (such as MATLAB/Simulink), flight software, and familiarity with spacecraft sensor and actuator systems are essential, along with certifications in aerospace or control engineering being beneficial. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and effective remote communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating with distributed teams and resolving complex technical challenges. These skills ensure the accurate and reliable operation of spacecraft, enabling mission success in highly technical and collaborative environments.

Job description

CTS seeks a Schedule Analyst Subject Matter Expert to provide technical expertise to the Evaluations, Assessments, Studies, Services, and Support (EASSS) contract. This contract supports NASA Headquarters Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and facilitates NASA's pursuit of the most noteworthy approaches for missions, payloads, spacecraft, instruments, and research that help answer the big questions in Earth and Space science. Located at LaRC, the NASA's Science Office for Mission Assessments (SOMA) helps SMD select and manage missions, spacecraft, and instruments. To accomplish this, SOMA manages and provides oversight of evaluations, assessments, and studies for SMD and other NASA organizations. These include evaluation of proposals received in response to NASA Announcements of Opportunity, NASA Research Announcements, Cooperative Agreement Notices, and Broad Agency Announcements, as well as highly specialized studies and assessments, such as life cycle and independent cost estimates, schedule assessments, and risk analyses. CTS supports SOMA via the EASSS contract by providing subject matter experts who will apply their expertise to complex proposal evaluations, management and technical assessments, and advanced studies through the EASSS contract.


CTS's subject matter experts need not be local to the program office near NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. We seek individuals who bring significant Technical, Management and Cost expertise in missions, payloads, spacecraft and instruments relevant to NASA's mission. The work is performed remotely with less than 10% travel occurring periodically for some during the assignment to bring the geographically distributed teams together for workshops to finalize results.


The Schedule Analysis evaluators shall have demonstrated knowledge and proficiency in generating and maintaining NASA spaceflight mission schedules through all development phases. Evaluators shall be proficient in utilizing Microsoft Project to analyze schedule metrics such as critical path, secondary critical paths, and schedule margin. Evaluators shall be familiar with the NASA Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Handbook and have experience assessing schedule completeness across WBS elements.

Education: Must have a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics, Finance, Engineering, or other directly related field.

We thank you for your time and consideration of our current opening. If you choose to apply please be sure to upload your most recent and detailed resume for our review.
