The GNC team interfaces directly with many engineering groups to conduct R&D, design, manufacturing, and operations activities, ultimately ensuring all current and future spacecraft systems satisfy their mission. Ideal candidates will embrace the commercialization of nanosatellite systems and adapt to low-cost, fast-paced systems design, development, and implementation methodologies that set Spire apart from our competition. In this fast-paced environment, the design to launch cycle is measured in weeks and months, not years! What You'll Do: - Technical ownership of current and future spacecraft attitude and orbit control software and hardware. - Design, model, analyze, integrate and operate attitude determination/estimation systems for small spacecraft. - Develop and utilize spacecraft dynamics and control simulations, including 'hardware-in-the-loop'. - Design, evaluate, select, qualify and implement flight sensors, including magnetometers, sun sensors, inertial measurement devices, infrared sensors, and/or star trackers. - Design, evaluate, select, qualify and implement flight actuators, including magnetic torque elements, reaction wheels, and propulsion systems. - Be hands-on in laboratory and manufacturing environments during testing, integration, and qualification of flight systems. - Provide support and analysis for on-orbit operations of spacecraft attitude determination and control systems. - Work with external contractors, manufacturers, and internal manufacturing staff to improve reliability, yield, performance, and cost of flight systems. Key Skills: - Extensive experience with a solid foundation in spacecraft attitude dynamics and control algorithms, with emphasis on practical application of knowledge. - Have experience designing and/or implementing Kalman filters for attitude estimation. - Experience with flight sensors for spacecraft attitude determination/estimation. - Experience developing software using C/Python. - Have experience or familiarity with the Linux development environment. - Have experience working with external engineering contractors. Preferred Skills: - Experience writing flight software. - Experience with C or C++ development for embedded systems. - Experience with spacecraft design. - Experience with spacecraft assembly, integration, and testing. - Experience with spacecraft operations and maintenance. - Experience identifying and resolving system anomalies. - Experience creating and maintaining integration and test campaigns for attitude determination and control systems, including hardware and software. Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office. Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licenses—this is not something candidates need to have before applying. #LI-MI1 Global Perks 🛰️ Name Your Satellite Program (NYSP) 🚀 Launch Attendance 🌴 Generous Time Off Policy 🎓 Education Assistance Program 🥰 Employee Assistance Program (EAP) 📈 Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) 👣 Family Leave 💪 Fitness Reimbursement 🧡 Employee Referral Program 🍉 Healthy snacks & beverages in every office About Spire We improve life on Earth with data from space.
