Lead Navigations Engineer

Job Title: Lead Navigations Engineer
Job Description
As a Lead Navigations Engineer, you design, prototype, and analyze cutting-edge navigation and localization algorithms for extraplanetary mobility systems, enabling a lunar rover to operate safely and reliably in extreme environments. You work end-to-end across simulation, flight software, hardware integration, and live operations, creating navigation capabilities that do not yet exist and making mission-critical design decisions that directly impact a manned rover system for the NASA Artemis crew.
Responsibilities

+ Design, prototype, and analyze navigation and localization algorithms for extraplanetary mobility systems using simulated and real data from motor resolvers, IMUs, star trackers, cameras, and lidars.

+ Support the development of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) simulations, sensor models, and analysis tooling for verification and validation of rover localization algorithms.

+ An...
