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.
