Responsibilities Lead Guidance Navigation and Control systems development and design activities for Astroscale missions derive and maintain AOCS Attitude Orbit Control of the SystemGNC guidance, navigation, and control subsystem requirements, define and maintain AOCSGNC subsystem design. Contribute to system level activities, such as developing mission CONOPS Concept of Operations, defining FMECA Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis and FDIR FaultFailure Detection, Isolation, and Recovery processes and design, system test and verification activities. Support control law and algorithms development analyse, design, implement and validate simulate scenarios for RPO rendezvous and proximity operations, working with flight dynamics engineers to develop passively safe trajectories for RPO. Design control laws to implement RPO docking manoeuvres. Support development of GNC hardware architecture, tradeoff analysis of hardware towards an overall GNC hardware solution. Support development of GNC software architecture, implementing algorithms into GNC flight software, towards an overall GNC software solution. Support procurement engineers with tradeoff and selection of GNC equipment. Review and mentoring of AOCSGNC activities and implementations, providing expert technical feedback, supporting internal review for our projects and providing guidance and mentoring to junior staff. Essential Skills 3 years of experience as an AOCS or GNC systems engineer involved in the design, implementation and testing of GNC solutions for actual spacecraft missions. Experience of algorithm control law development use of GNC design and simulation software e.g., MATLAB, implementation of control laws and real world effects nonlinearities, signal noise, tuning, translating algorithms into operational flight software. Preferable to have experience of implementation of RPO and docking algorithms and solutions. Experience of hardware tradeoffs and hardware and software GNC architectural design. Desired Skills 5 years of experience as an AOCS or GNC systems engineer involved in the design, implementation and testing of GNC solutions for actual spacecraft missions. Operational experience of onorbit satellite operations. Extended experience in control law design, beyond classical techniques non linear design, optimal. Any experience of selflearning algorithms prediction, selftuning and AI Artificial Intelligence e.g. supervised and unsupervised machine learning. Extensive knowledge of GNC sensor systems tradeoffs procurement, data processing including cameras, IR and LiDAR. Understanding of safety across the GNC design spectrum passively safe trajectories, safety critical flight software, operator and ground segment interaction and level of autonomy, abort manoeuvres, and collision avoidance manoeuvres. Knowledge of orbital debris removal including licensing, export, regulation, space law. Knowledge of missions concerning active debris removal or RPO RemoveDebris, CleanSpace ESA projects e.g. e.DeOrbit, DEOS, ATV, ETS7, DARPA Express. Location Astroscale UK Harwell, with occasional travelling to Astroscale Japan Tokyo About Astroscale Astroscale Holdings Inc. is the first private company with a mission to secure longterm spaceflight safety and orbital sustainability for the benefit of future generations. Founded in 2013, Astroscale is developing innovative and scalable solutions for satellite endoflife and active debris removal services in order to mitigate the growing and hazardous buildup of debris in space.Headquartered in Japan with offices in the UK and Singapore, Astroscale is a rapidly expanding venture company, preparing to solve a growing environmental concern. Astroscale is currently developing its second mission, ELSAd, a technology demonstration for endoflife services and pursuing complementary missions with potential customers.
