SpaceX is hiring a Senior GNC Engineer for Starship to develop guidance, navigation, and control systems for its next-generation reusable spacecraft. The role involves vehicle systems architecture, 6-DOF dynamics simulation, trajectory and flight-stability analysis, post-flight data correlation, launch and mission operations support, and GNC software testing using hardware-in-the-loop, Monte Carlo, and unit-testing methods. Candidates need a bachelor's degree in physics or engineering, at least five years of professional experience, and experience with control systems, orbital mechanics, classical dynamics, modeling, simulation, and Python or C++. Postgraduate education, launch-vehicle experience, and strong problem-solving and communication skills are preferred; extended hours or weekends may be required, and U.S. export-authorization eligibility is required.
