We’re generalists with specialist depth, united by a flat structure and a shared obsession with building things that work well. We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.\nIf this sounds like how you operate, check out our job openings below.\nLocation Employment Type Full time\nDepartment Software\nCompensation $140K – $180K\nABOUT US:\nAstro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company building a faster, more connected future. Our mission is to democratize high-speed flight by making supersonic travel flexible, accessible, and sustainable. We believe that rapid, on-demand, point-to-point global mobility will become the new standard for moving people and goods across the planet. To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies—which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system—with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today. In the near term, we are developing adaptable, high-speed systems to close aircraft performance gaps for the United States government.\nWHO WE ARE:\nWe’re a team of passionate engineers dedicated to advancing aerospace. We’re generalists with specialist depth, united by a flat structure and a shared obsession with building things that work well. We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.\nWHO YOU ARE:\nYou’re a GNC engineer who wants real ownership over the guidance and control systems of a clean-sheet autonomous aircraft. You’re comfortable working from first principles, collaborating tightly with propulsion, structures, and avionics, and making practical tradeoffs to get hardware flying. You care deeply about how systems behave in the real world—not just in simulation—and you’re motivated by building control architectures that are robust, testable, and ready for flight.\nWHAT YOU’LL DO:\nDevelop and implement guidance, navigation, and control systems for our products\nEngage in multi-disciplinary aircraft trades and help define the overall system architecture\nDevelop 6-DOF dynamics simulation models used for analysis and validation\nDevelop tooling to automate control design, monte carlos, and simulation validation\nWork closely with peers across engineering disciplines to define the control schemes and mechanisms for our products\nSupport flight and ground test operations\nConduct post flight/test reviews and correlate performance with analysis for continuous improvement on predictions\nWHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:\nMaster’s degree or PhD in robotics, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, or related discipline\n2+ years of professional experience in GNC development for an aerospace or autonomous vehicle program\nExperience with dynamics, modeling, and simulation\nExperience with software development best practices\nExperience with Rust, C++, Python, or other relevant software languages.\nAmbition to work in a fast-paced environment\nPERKS & BENEFITS:\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)\n401(k) program and transparent stock option plan\nSelf-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time\nFlexible work environment\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION:\nAt Astro Mechanica, we highly value in-office work to foster collaboration and strengthen our company culture.
