Jobs

Vast is seeking a Senior GNC Engineer to lead guidance, navigation, and control for a new constellation-ready spacecraft bus, designed to scale to hundreds of spacecraft annually. This role involves end-to-end ADCS ownership, from architecture and algorithm development to 6DOF simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and on-orbit commissioning. The ideal candidate will have 6+ years of spacecraft GNC/ADCS development experience, strong fundamentals in dynamics and controls, and expertise in CMG-based attitude control systems. You will define ADCS architecture, develop GNC algorithms, manage pointing budgets, and engage directly with payload customers on pointing and stability requirements.
