The role

Are you passionate about aerospace technology and would you like your developments to reach, literally, space?

We are looking for a GNC / AOCS Engineer to join an international and pioneering space technology project located in Seville. In this role, you will be a key piece in the design, development, and validation of Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithms for space systems and autonomous platforms. You will participate in the complete product lifecycle: from requirements definition and simulation, to implementation, integration, and verification.

If you have an analytical mind, enjoy solving complex technical challenges, and are looking for an environment where your ideas have a real impact, this is the place for you.

What you'll do

Design and development of attitude determination and control algorithms.

Implementation of estimation filters (EKF, UKF, complementary filters, etc.).

Development and maintenance of high-fidelity GNC simulators.

Modeling of sensors and actuators (Star trackers, Sun sensors, IMUs, etc.).

Analysis of navigation and attitude performance.

Active participation in integration, validation, and testing campaigns.

Definition of technical requirements and interfaces with other subsystems.

Development of analysis and simulation tools using MATLAB and Python.

Preparation of technical documentation ensuring compliance with space standards (ECSS).

Requirements

Education: Degree or Master's in Engineering (Aerospace, Telecommunications, Industrial, Electronics), Mathematics, or Physics (specializing in control/navigation).

Experience: 2 to 5 years developing GNC/AOCS systems for space, defense, UAV, or autonomous systems projects.

Essential Knowledge

Orbital dynamics, space mechanics, control, and dynamic systems.

Sensor estimation and fusion.

Advanced proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and Git.

We value: HIL simulation, optical/inertial navigation (Star trackers, GNSS, computer vision), programming (embedded C/C++, FPGA), industry software (STK, GMAT, Orekit), and ECSS standards.

Competencies: Strong analytical profile, technical autonomy, excellent teamwork, and a clear orientation toward results (ownership).
