Senior GNC Engineer - Missile Systems

Job LocationCan be considered for Cambridge OR MunichOverviewWe are looking for a Senior GNC Engineer to shape a new interceptor from first concept through flight test. You will join the core missile design team taking ownership of guidance or control and helping shape the vehicle GNC architecture. Your work will influence systems and airframe design and directly determine interceptor performance across demanding flight regimes.ResponsibilitiesShape the interceptor concept through GNC trades influencing airframe and systems designOwn guidance and/or flight control law design from concept through flight testDevelop and evaluate guidance strategies and engagement algorithms for high-dynamic interception scenariosDesign flight control laws across subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimesPlan and support simulation campaigns, ground tests, and flight trialsRequirementsGNC experience in missiles, rockets or high-speed aircraft including evidence of technical ownership for a GNC

That risk comes from the air - low-cost drones and cruise missiles now manufactured in
colossal volumes by our adversaries, ballistic missiles capable of ending the world as we know it, and a new generation of hypersonic weapons that evade every existing defence.We're building low-cost interceptors that defeat these threats, and the surveillance systems to detect and target them - at a cost taxpayers can afford, at the pace the threat demands, and with sovereign supply chains that assure delivery.We have immense backing from the world's best venture funds. We're one of the fastest growing defence technology companies in history. And we're hiring the best engineers to prosecute the mission.If you are in the top 1%, willing to work harder than you ever have, build technology better than anyone else, and contribute to the defining challenge of our time, now is the time to join us.Our Commitment to InclusionWe're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
