Chantilly, VAfulltimemidAdded 1 month ago

About this role

Lynk seeks a GNC Engineer to design and optimize attitude determination and control systems (ADCS) for a satellite constellation enabling global connectivity. You'll work across electrical, mechanical, and software domains to develop ADCS architecture, algorithms, and ground systems that keep satellites properly oriented in space.

What you'll do

  • Design and evolve satellite ADCS architecture including sensors and effectors
  • Develop algorithms and flight code for attitude determination and control
  • Evaluate and select ADCS components such as sensors, reaction wheels, and torque rods
  • Conduct 6-DOF simulations and hardware-in-the-loop testing in lab environments
  • Perform analysis to define component performance requirements and redundancy strategies
  • Support satellite integration, testing, and delivery to launch providers

What they're looking for

  • Satellite attitude determination and control systems expertise
  • Programming (Rust, C, Python, MATLAB, or similar)
  • Linux systems and systems-level languages (C, C++, Rust)
  • Git and version control practices
  • ADCS component knowledge (IMUs, star trackers, magnetometers, reaction wheels)
  • Space hardware and software development experience
  • System simulation and modeling
  • Technical documentation and design specification
