About the role
Impulse Space in Redondo Beach seeks a Principal GNC Engineer to lead the Guidance, Navigation, and Controls of agile delta-V spacecraft. You will own all aspects of vehicle guidance and control across development and operations with a fast-paced team and must hold a TS/SCI clearance. You will mentor engineers, shape hardware and software design reviews, and collaborate with partners to meet mission needs while delivering robust control systems for missions in LEO, GEO, and cislunar.
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.
