  • Proven experience in GNC algorithm design and implementation
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python for algorithm development and testing
  • Strong foundation in applied mathematics, control theory, and estimation methods
  • Experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary environment
