Job Description
📋 Description Design and implement a real-time onboard orbit estimator for VLEO using EKF. Model dynamics: gravity, drag, SRP, and GNSS measurement processing. Develop short-horizon orbit prediction and uncertainty propagation. Support low-thrust operations: finite-burn dynamics and thrust estimation. Analyze orbit–attitude–drag coupling for improved estimation. Deliver robust C/C++ flight software with numerical stability and diagnosability. 🎯 Requirements Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical Eng, Physics, or related field. Strong C/C++ skills for flight software, numerical methods, and embedded determinism. Python proficiency for analysis, simulation, and test automation. Hands-on experience with nonlinear state estimation (EKF/UKF) and numerical linear algebra. GNSS formats (RINEX/SP3/IONEX) and GNSS measurement modeling. GEO/MEO/LEO/VLEO perturbations and dynamic models; covariance propagation. 🎁 Benefits Employee friendly equity compensation 4% direct matching 401k Health Insurance: 100% employee coverage & 75% dependent coverage Parental leave and childcare coverage Flexible vacation and sick time from day one 12 company holidays
