AOCS/GNC Engineer
Opportunity summary
Employment type: FULLTIME. Design the systems that guide satellites in orbit for new ambitious missions We are seeking an experienced AOCS/GNC Engineer to design, develop, and validate attitude determination, orbit control, and autonomous navigation solutions for small satellite missions.
In this role, you will develop guidance and control strategies across diverse and demanding mission profiles — from VLEO drag-dominated regimes to deep-space trajectories and asteroid proximity operations.
You will join our Advanced Missions global team, developing next-generation AOCS/GNC concepts while collaborating closely with GomSpace's established AOCS team in Aalborg — who built and flew the AOCS for the Juventas CubeSat on ESA's Hera mission and are currently developing full 6-DoF GNC for the Llevant (RAMSES) asteroid rendezvous mission.
Your Role As AOCS/GNC Engineer, you will own the attitude and orbit control design for advanced mission proposals — from requirements definition and algorithm design through high-fidelity simulation and hardware-in-the-loop validation.
Your key responsibilities include
Design and implement AOCS/GNC algorithms for attitude determination, control, and autonomous navigation across diverse mission profiles. Develop guidance and orbit-control strategies tailored to SSA, VLEO drag-dominated regimes, and deep-space trajectories1 …
