About the role

Astro Mechanica CORP. in San Francisco is seeking a GNC Software Engineer (mid-level to senior) to own guidance, navigation, and control systems for an autonomous aircraft. You will write the simulation and flight code, collaborate with hardware and software teams, and help ensure robust, testable flight performance. The role emphasizes first-principles design, model-based analysis, and building controllable architectures that perform in real-world conditions.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
