Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer – Advanced Aerospace Systems

We are a pioneering aerospace technology company developing advanced automation systems designed to improve safety, efficiency, and reliability in modern aviation. Our cross-functional team brings together expertise from aerospace, robotics, and autonomous vehicles to shape the future of air transportation.

As a GNC Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and testing high-integrity control systems for uncrewed and autonomous aircraft. This position involves full lifecycle ownership — from system architecture through flight testing — as part of a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define system-level GNC requirements and architecture alongside engineering, operations, and certification teams.

  • Design algorithms for navigation and guidance that integrate with flight control systems and pilot interfaces

  • Develop, implement, and validate GNC software in simulation and onboard flight systems.

  • Analyze data from simulations, hardware-in-the-loop tests, and live flight operations.

  • Evaluate system behavior and performance using test frameworks and flight data.

  • Prepare technical documentation to communicate system functionality to both technical and regulatory stakeholders.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

  • 3+ years of experience in guidance, navigation, control systems, or flight dynamics modeling

  • Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for real-time and simulation environments

  • Strong communication and documentation skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s or PhD in a relevant engineering discipline

  • Specialization in motion planning, probabilistic methods, or control theory

  • Experience with safety-critical software systems

  • Familiarity with FAA certification processes

  • Pilot credentials (instrument or commercial rating)

Join a team that’s pushing the boundaries of aviation safety and autonomy. You’ll be directly involved in the development of advanced aerospace systems that could fundamentally reshape how people and goods move through the skies.
