- Implement and validate GN&C flight software (MATLAB/Simulink models and C/C++ prototypes) and integrate with testbeds and avionics

- Apply astrodynamics and flight mechanics to mission design, novel orbit concepts, and trajectory optimization

- Develop powered and unpowered guidance laws and autonomy tools for on-orbit operations

- Support troubleshooting of operational anomalies, functional tests, and service incidents

- Produce concepts of operations, simulation artifacts, and test procedures to enable rapid iteration from prototype to flight test

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate technical tradeoffs to stakeholders

- Independently identify inefficiencies, propose solutions, and implement reusable tools and automations

- Lead engineering project teams, mentor engineers, and advance job practices and techniques related to GN&C

**Requirements:**
