  • Ensure the GNC and perception system design, implementation, and testing are closely coordinated with affected stakeholders such as vehicle engineering (for sensor and lighting placement), avionics, software, and mission operations team 
  • Ensure the GNC and perception system design and implementation meet all applicable safety, reliability, and fault tolerance  requirements  
  • Balance performance, risk, and embedded compute constraints  
  • Ensure that rover GNC and perception systems support the required tele-operated, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous vehicle operations  
  • Ensure the GNC team provides support during rover operations on the lunar surface 

What you'll bring:
  •  Bachelor's degree in a STEM related field
  •  Experience developing guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), perception, or autonomy systems for autonomous vehicles or robotic platforms 
  •  Experience developing GNC software using C++ 
  •  Experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex technical programs 
  •  Experience supporting the full product development lifecycle, including system architecture, implementation, integration, testing, and operations 
  •  Experience developing perception, navigation, or autonomy software, including sensor integration, localization, navigation, or path planning 
  •  Experience designing and executing verification and validation testing for autonomy or navigation systems 
  •  Strong written and verbal communication skills 
  •  Master's degree or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field 
  •  10+ years of experience developing guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), perception, and autonomy systems 
  •  Experience developing GNC, perception, or autonomy systems for space vehicles, extraterrestrial rovers, or other aerospace applications 
  •  Experience developing embedded autonomy, perception, or navigation software for compute- or power-constrained systems 
  •  Experience with image processing, multi-sensor odometry, terrain-relative navigation, pose estimation, hazard detection, terrain mapping, or route planning 
  •  Experience designing and executing simulation, laboratory, field, or analog test campaigns, including statistical analysis methods such as Monte Carlo 
  •  Experience implementing and testing GNC or perception software on flight hardware or embedded platforms 
  •  Experience supporting programs that follow NASA or other aerospace mission assurance standards

Benefits and Perks
  • Join a team of best-in-class engineers building the foundation of planetary surface exploration
