Description
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

As a Senior Controls engineer, you will focus on developing and integrating control and estimation algorithms into our satellite’s real-time flight software. You will engage with E-Space hardware and software engineers to capture the required behavior and performance of estimation and control algorithms designed by the GNC team and integrate, test, and operate them as part of our satellites’ mission-critical flight software.
 
This position will report to the GNC Lead. This position will be based in Saratoga, CA.

What you will do:

  • This position will design, implement, and test control algorithms and software for E-Space satellites.
  • Maintain and enhance E-Space Satellite Simulator with data and critical analysis.
  • Interface with software engineers to integrate controls and estimation software into flight software stack.
  • Own all aspects of controls software development, including autocoding, testing, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, mission integration, and operation.
  • Design, improve, and follow rigorous software configuration management and code development and integration processes.
  • Interact cross-functionally with other subsystem engineers, providing expertise as needed.
  • Participate, present, and prepare documentation for design reviews.

What you bring to this role:

  • MS + 5 years / PhD + 2 years in Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent, with work experience in relevant fields.
  • Hands-on experience designing and deploying novel control-algorithms to aerospace or ground vehicles.
  • Experience with system identification, Kalman filters, Linear and Non-linear Controllers.
  • Experience with machine learning and artificial intelligence.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in software development in C, C++, and Matlab/Simulink.
  • Hands-on experience with building and debugging complex software and algorithms.
  • Familiarity with actuators and sensors for low-Earth orbit satellite applications.
  • Knowledge of spacecraft dynamics and orbital mechanics.
  • Experience with Git and Linux.

Bonus points:

  • Hands-on experience building and debugging complex software
  • Experience with spacecraft GNC hardware/software, including design and testing processes.
  • Experience in writing autonomy software for space/aerial/ground vehicles
  • Experience developing visualization and graphics engines
  • Experience with machine learning and artificial intelligence
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office.  The target base pay for this position is $100,000 - $200,000 annually.  The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. 
 
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
 
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
