Flight Control Engineer

Guidance, Navigation & Controls (GNC) Engineers | Impulse Space ($4.3-billion start-up)Own GNC from concept-to-flight!Seeking a high-growth opportunity with a well-funded NewSpace start-up? - (over $1-billion in funding)Seeking expedited career progression during a major growth period? - (averaging 10 new hires per week)Founded by former SpaceX CTO (Tom Mueller), Impulse Space (Current valuation: $4.3-billion) is one of the fastest growing NewSpace start-ups in the US, leading the Space sector in the next generation of in-space transportation vehicles ("Space-Tugs").Impulse Space is rapidly expanding its GNC team, with opportunities from mid-level through Senior and Principal Engineer.We're looking for hands-on engineers who want to do more than analyse one small part of a vehicle. You'll have the opportunity to develop algorithms, write flight software, build simulations, verify your work and ultimately see it operate on real spacecraft.Principal GNC Engineer – Spacecraft - Up to $300k + EquityA senior technical role for experienced spacecraft GNC engineers who can take significant ownership of vehicle guidance, navigation and controls. Particularly suited to engineers with hands-on spacecraft, satellite, flight software and on-orbit operations experience.Senior GNC Engineer - Up to $200k + EquityOwn major areas of spacecraft GNC from algorithm development and analysis through flight software, simulation, verification and operations. You'll work across areas including guidance, navigation/estimation, controls and astrodynamics while helping establish technical best practices within the team.GNC Engineer – Mid-Level - Up to $155k + EquityAn opportunity for earlier-career GNC engineers to take meaningful technical ownership while working alongside highly experienced spacecraft engineers. You'll contribute directly to algorithms, simulation, software implementation, verification and vehicle development rather than being limited to purely analytical work.If you want to remain deeply technical and hands-on, while working on spacecraft that are being designed, built and flown at startup pace, these are some of the most interesting GNC opportunities in the market.All successful applicants will be contacted within two working days.
