Job details

Pay: $210,000 to $300,000 USD / year
Posting language: English

Original job description

As the Senior Optical Navigation (OpNav) Responsible Engineer at Impulse Space, you will own the terrain-relative navigation (TRN) system that brings our lunar lander from low lunar orbit to a precise, safe touchdown. You will be the single technical owner and product owner for TRN: you'll set the requirements, architecture, development roadmap and verification strategy, and you'll pace the program so the capability is ready when the vehicle is. You will work closely with GNC, flight software, avionics, mission design, and test to turn a lunar landing mission into a navigation system that is defined, built, verified, and flown.

Responsibilities

Own the TRN system end to end: concept of operations, requirements, architecture, and the interfaces
Turn mission and landing needs into flowed-down navigation requirements and error budgets
As product owner for TRN: maintain the technical roadmap, prioritized backlog, and development milestones, aligning with lander integration, test, and mission schedules
Coordinate across multiple teams to achieve system-level success
Lead make/buy and sensor trades for descent navigation: cameras, compute, and more
Define the onboard map and reference-data pipeline
Lead and define the TRN verification strategy across analysis, synthetic-image simulation, software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with image injection, Monte Carlo campaigns, and field or flight testing
Define TRN fault detection, health monitoring, and fallback modes with GNC and autonomy
Represent TRN in design reviews and risk reviews. Communicate status, trades, and risk to engineering and leadership
Support integration, test campaigns, and mission operations through descent and landing

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, Physics, or a related discipline
8+ years of experience in spacecraft or aircraft navigation, optical/vision-based navigation, or GNC systems engineering
Demonstrated experience defining requirements, interfaces, and error budgets for a navigation or sensing system
Demonstrated work in verification, simulation, or test of navigation or perception systems
Experience with flight- or development-hardware selection, procurement, or test
Working knowledge of state estimation (e.g., Kalman filtering) and how measurement errors affect navigation performance
Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB; ability to read and review C++ flight code
Excellent technical communication skills

Preferred Skills and Experience

10+ years of experience in spacecraft or aircraft navigation, optical/vision-based navigation, or GNC systems engineering
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 and system validation
Experience with descent sensors such as laser altimeters, Doppler lidar or velocimeters, and flash lidar
Experience running field, or flight test campaigns for navigation sensors
Product owner or technical lead experience pacing a team’s development effort, managing a backlog, or overseeing suppliers
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.
