USA, WA, Redmond - 136,000.00 - 184,000.00 USD annually
- Design and analyze algorithms for state estimation, attitude determination and control, precise pointing and payload cueing against demanding performance requirements.
- Implement these algorithms in production C++ flight software.
- Write concepts of operations for each phase of a satellite's life, from launch and orbit raising to service and deorbit, including failures and recovery.
- Develop momentum management strategies with reaction wheels and magnetic torquers.
- Develop onboard autonomy, including Fault Detection, Isolation and Recovery (FDIR).
- PhD
