What they need
You will design and build the guidance system for rockets. You'll take your designs from concept all the way through simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and live flight test.
What You'll Do
- Design systems to detect and track targets using computer vision, RF, radar, and more
- Turn those tracks into guidance commands to steer a rocket
- Build high-fidelity simulations of your control systems and the vehicles they fly on
- Run hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to validate your designs
- See your work perform in the real world and feed those results back into your next design
What We're Looking For
- Strong background in robotics, computer vision, and/or kalman filtering
- Experience implementing and validating real-time autonomy systems
- Comfort working across the hardware/software boundary — you understand both the math and the implementation
- You like to iterate fast and test often, not wait for perfection
- Bonus: experience with drone guidance or state estimation
This role is for engineers who want to close the loop — not just model a system, but actually fly it. There's nothing quite like that first flight test.
