GNC Engineer
Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That's a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket.
We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft.
GNC Engineer
As a GNC Engineer, you will own guidance, navigation, and control across the full lifecycle of our spacecraft: from the individual tiles that rendezvous, dock, and latch, to the large reconfigurable vehicle they assemble into. You will define how tiles find each other and close the final meters, how a vehicle whose mass properties change with every docking de-tumbles, points, slews, and manages distributed momentum, and how all of it is estimated on board from a small suite of sensors. You will develop algorithms through analysis and simulation, implement them in the flight software stack, verify them on hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testbeds, a
