Senior GNC Engineer

Key responsibilities

• Develop and extend the onboard guidance, navigation, and flight-control software
• Tune the state-estimation and navigation solution, integrating additional correction sources as needed
• Validate new and existing navigation features through structured bench testing
• Contribute flight-control input to structural and flight-envelope parameters in coordination with the mechanical team
• Own hardware-in-the-loop test integration and regression testing of the guidance/control software
• Follow sound engineering practice by relying on proven flight-controller functionality rather than duplicating it unnecessarily

Required qualifications

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Aerospace, Robotics, Controls, or related field
• 5+ years working with flight control or guidance software for UAVs or autonomous vehicles
• Strong software development skills (Python and/or C++) and familiarity with a common autopilot/flight-controller ecosystem
• Practical experience with state estimation and guidance/navigation laws

Good to have

• Experience with terrain-referenced or vision-aided navigation
• Contribution history on an open-source autopilot project
• Prior work on safety-critical autonomous platforms
