Work as a satellite systems engineer across satellite design, development, testing, and operations, helping build communications infrastructure and direct-to-device connectivity.
About this role
This role focuses on thrust vector control (TVC) for the company’s self-developed ZERO small rocket. It sits at the intersection of actuator control and system-level performance evaluation, with responsibility for ensuring that the engine’s steering angle follows commands from the upper-level system accurately and consistently.
The engineer designs position and speed control for a TVC actuator consisting of a motor and ball-screw mechanism. Work includes building control and plant models with Simulink and related tools, modeling mechanical behavior, identifying parameters, analyzing time-series data and frequency responses, and improving or tuning control logic based on evaluation results. The role also involves coordinating with mechanical design and test teams to optimize performance across the complete system.
