GNC Engineer (Contract) - FULLY REMOTE

SET Development is supporting a confidential aerospace client seeking a GNC Engineer to contribute to the design, analysis, and validation of satellite Guidance, Navigation, and Control systems.

This is a hands-on engineering role across the full spacecraft lifecycle — from requirements and modeling through integration, testing, and mission support.

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers solving real flight problems, not just theoretical models.

If you’ve built simulations, worked with spacecraft dynamics, or touched control systems in a meaningful way — this is where you level up.

GNC Engineering (Core – ~50%)

• Contribute to the design and implementation of spacecraft GNC systems across new and existing platforms
• Work across sensors, actuators, control algorithms, and flight software integration
• Support requirements development and flow-down across subsystem components
• Participate in design activities spanning spacecraft, payloads, and integration environments
• Drive reuse of existing system architectures while identifying where new design is required
• Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams (systems, software, hardware, integration)

Simulation & Modeling (Major Focus – ~40%)

• Develop and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments for spacecraft performance analysis
