Graduate Engineer – Guidance, Navigation, and Control / Formation Flight at Arraylabs.io

Array Labs is developing a distributed radar imaging constellation designed to generate the world's first accurate, real-time 3D model. We are looking for a Graduate Engineer to join our team on-site in the United States for an internship focused on Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) and formation flight, helping us build the most dense distributed sensing space system ever conceived.

Responsibilities

• Create the algorithms and methods necessary to coordinate spacecraft trajectories in low Earth orbit.
• Build and deploy simulation environments to evaluate performance across individual spacecraft, formations, and the entire fleet.
• Design and execute verification and validation plans for our algorithms.
• Research and implement innovative approaches for satellite state estimation and control.

Must-haves

• You are currently pursuing a graduate degree after completing a Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
• You possess at least 12 months of practical GN&C experience gained through labs or previous internships.
• You communicate effectively and thrive in a collaborative team environment.
• You are self-motivated, accountable, and capable of learning new concepts quickly on your own.
• You can perform under pressure in a fast-paced, demanding setting.
• You meet ITAR requirements as a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual.

Nice-to-haves

• You are on track for a Spring 2026 graduation.
• You have experience with system-level GN&C modeling and hands-on hardware implementation.
• You are proficient in MATLAB, Simulink, C/C++, or Python.
• You have worked with astrodynamics software such as STK, FreeFlyer, or GMAT.
• You have a background in control theory, orbital mechanics, and the design of GN&C algorithms.
• You are familiar with spacecraft ADCS sensors, actuators, and laboratory test equipment.
