Design satellite GNC subsystems at MDA using orbital dynamics, attitude control, and real-time embedded software expertise across mission lifecycles.

This principal-level engineer develops complete GNC subsystems for Earth observation and telecommunication satellites. Responsibilities span algorithm development, hardware implementation, validation, integration, and in-orbit support. The work includes requirements, simulations, control laws, and multidisciplinary coordination.

Key Responsibilities:

- Establish mission-based GNC requirements and maintain bidirectional traceability
- Model satellite dynamics using Matlab/Simulink and STK simulations
- Develop attitude, orbit determination, guidance, and station-keeping algorithms
- Lead avionics bench testing, verification,



and commissioning sequences
- Support satellite operations, anomaly investigations, and performance reporting

Requirements:

- B.Sc. in Electrical, Aerospace, or Physics Engineering
- Ten-plus years in GNC/AOCS for LEO, MEO, or GEO platforms
- Mastery of orbital dynamics, multi-axis control laws, and Kalman filters
- Hands-on integration, testing, and troubleshooting capability
- Excellent written and oral English communication skills

Apply satellite GNC systems expertise across algorithms, verification, integration, and operational support for MDA missions.
