Description

We are looking for a Senior GNC Engineer to take a key role in developing cutting-edge autonomous and semi-autonomous systems, pushing the limits of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) for high-performance robotic platforms. You will work on challenging, real-world problems, ensuring our robots can execute precise, high-speed maneuvers in complex environments while maintaining robust stability and reliability.

In this role, you’ll drive algorithm development, real-world tests, and multidisciplinary collaboration with teams across hardware, software, and perception to bring next-generation robotics to life. If you thrive on solving tough engineering problems and want to see your work deployed in the field, this is your opportunity.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in GNC development for drones, autonomous robots, aerospace, or similar systems.
  • Experience with C/C++, or MATLAB/Simulink for algorithm development and testing.
  • Hands-on experience with real-world testing and debugging.
  • Ability to work across multidisciplinary teams, bridging the gap between software, hardware, and real-world deployment.
  • Passion for pushing boundaries in robotics, autonomy, and high-performance GNC systems.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on cutting-edge robotics challenges where your contributions make a direct impact.
  • Be part of a fast-moving, highly skilled team that thrives on solving the toughest engineering problems.
  • Opportunity to test and refine your work in real-world scenarios, not just simulations.
  • A culture that values innovation, hands-on problem-solving, and technical excellence.
