Position Summary, Responsibilities, & Qualifications
- Logos is seeking a Senior Payload Pointing Control Software Engineer to lead the development of our onboard, real-time beam control system. You will be responsible for designing, developing, integrating and testing the pointing control software that will keep Logos space networking constellation running smoothly. This role connects low-level estimation and control software with high-level mission requirements — motion to mission!
- You should be prepared to work and thrive in a fast moving environment where you are comfortable taking vague design ideas and turning them into practical software that is ready to fly. We are seeking engineers who love to solve hard problems
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain real-time state estimation and pointing control flight software in C and C++.
- Manage the interfaces between payload beam control flight software, mechanically-steered antenna hardware, electronically steerable antennas, and optical intersatellite crosslink terminals.
- Perform detailed attitude determination, control, disturbance rejection, and pointing performance analyses that bridge connect link budgets with pointing budgets
- Conduct closed-loop testing using software-in-the-loop (SITL) simulations, hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) simulations, and FlatSat platforms to validate algorithm function and performance.
- Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including requirements definition, architecture design, coding, and code reviews.
- Provide technical support for mission operations, including anomaly resolution and the development of operational procedures
Basic Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math).
