<p></p> <p>As a GNC/AOCS Engineer at Spire, you will operate as part of a technical team who maintains responsibility across the full lifecycle of its engineering products.
The GNC team interfaces directly with many engineering groups to conduct R&D, design, manufacturing, and operations activities, ultimately ensuring all current and future spacecraft systems satisfy their mission.
</p> <p>Ideal candidates will embrace the commercialization of nanosatellite systems and adapt to low-cost, fast-paced systems design, development, and implementation methodologies that set Spire apart from our competition.
In this fast-paced environment, the design to launch cycle is measured in weeks and months, not years!</p> <p></p> <p>What You’ll Do:</p> <ul> <li>Technical ownership of current and future spacecraft attitude and orbit control software and hardware.
</li> <li>Design, model, analyze, integrate and operate attitude determination/estimation systems for small spacecraft.
</li> <li>Develop and utilize spacecraft dynamics and control simulations, including 'hardware-in-the-loop'.
</li> <li>Design, evaluate, select, qualify and implement flight sensors, including magnetometers, sun sensors, inertial measurement devices, infrared sensors, and/or star trackers.
</li> <li>Design, evaluate, select, qualify and implement flight actuators, including magnetic torque elements, reaction wheels, and propulsion systems.
</li> <li>Be hands-on in laboratory and manufacturing environments during testing, integration, and qualification of flight systems.
</li> <li>Provide support and analysis for on-orbit operations of spacecraft attitude determination and control systems.
</li> <li>Work with external contractors, manufacturers, and internal manufacturing staff to improve reliability, yield, performance, and cost of flight systems.
</li> </ul> <p>Key.
