Senior Satellite GNC Engineer, Amazon Leo

Amazon Leo is building a constellation of thousands of low Earth orbit satellites. It will bring fast, reliable internet to customers beyond the reach of existing networks.

On the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) team, you will design the algorithms, simulations and onboard autonomy that keep every satellite precisely pointed and stable. Your work lets the payload serve customers on the ground, and it keeps the fleet flying safely.

This is satellite GNC at constellation scale. The constellation is launching and growing today, so you will see your work go from concept to orbit, and then fly on many satellites.

In this role, you will:

• Take your GNC algorithms from concept to orbit, and stay with them through integration, test and on-orbit operations.
• Write the production C++ flight code for your own algorithms. The code that flies is the code you write.
• Solve hard problems in precise pointing, payload cueing and fleet autonomy.
• Work across design, simulation, test and flight operations, not a narrow slice of the lifecycle.
