Original job description

As a Senior Optical Navigation Engineer at Impulse Space, you will own the onboard optical navigation algorithms and software for our lunar lander across all phases of development and operation, while working in a fast-paced, agile team. You will design, implement, and validate the navigation filters and sensor-fusion techniques that land our spacecraft on the moon, as well as provide inputs on the hardware and embedded-system design.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and tune navigation algorithms for low-lunar-orbit (LLO) navigation, descent, and landing
Provide inputs for the camera system that provides imagery to the terrain-relative navigation system
Implement the terrain-relative navigation algorithms and software, performing crater detection/matching and image comparison for odometry
Perform spacecraft navigation analyses: orbit determination, attitude determination, covariance analysis, and navigation error budgets
Develop and validate simulated sensor and measurement models in Impulse’s 6DOF simulation environment
Implement navigation algorithms in flight code (C++) and support SIL/HIL integration and test
Perform Monte Carlo analysis to characterize navigation performance under dispersed and off-nominal conditions
Generate navigation verification data for Impulse's lunar missions
Support navigation operations: real-time orbit determination, console support, and anomaly response during critical mission phases
Communicate navigation design needs, intent, performance, trades, and risk to the broader engineering team

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, Physics, or a related discipline
8+ years of experience in spacecraft navigation, orbit determination, or estimation
Experience in vision-based navigation design and implementation
Demonstrated experience in verification, simulation, or test of navigation or perception systems
Proficiency in Matlab and C++
Demonstrated experience designing and implementing spacecraft navigation
Excellent technical communication skills

Preferred Skills and Experience

10+ years of experience in spacecraft navigation, orbit determination, or estimation
Demonstrated experience with terrain-relative navigation, precision landing, or hazard detection
Experience with landmark, crater, or map-relative localization and feature-tracking algorithms
Experience with lunar or planetary map products and tools (e.g., Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter imagery and digital elevation models)
Experience with camera models, calibration, radiometry, and synthetic scene or image generation for testing
Experience with OpNav HITLs
Experience with navigation/astrodynamics tools (FreeFlyer, GMAT, STK, etc.)
Experience with powered descent, entry-descent-landing, rendezvous and proximity operations, or other deep-space missions
Experience in a startup or fast-paced, iterative hardware development environment

Additional Information:

Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
