Principal GNC/ACS Engineer

Albedo is at the forefront of revolutionizing the space industry through their innovative Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) technology. They've successfully launched Clarity-1, their first satellite capable of delivering unprecedented 10cm visible and 2m thermal imagery resolution - a breakthrough in commercial satellite capabilities.

As a Principal GNC/ACS Engineer, you'll be joining a transformative team of under 100 employees, working directly on advancing VLEO technology and optimizing satellite control systems. The role combines cutting-edge spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control development with real-world applications in high-resolution Earth observation.

The position demands deep expertise in spacecraft control systems, with responsibilities ranging from developing optimization-based GNC solutions to analyzing complex line-of-sight simulations. You'll work with Control Moment Gyro systems, implement advanced control algorithms, and collaborate across teams to ensure mission success.

This is an opportunity to join a company that's intentionally tackling challenging problems in an AI-first environment. You'll be part of a team that's already proven its ability to achieve the impossible with Clarity-1's successful deployment. The role offers competitive compensation ($250,000-$264,500), comprehensive benefits, and the chance to directly impact the future of space technology and Earth observation capabilities.

Working from Albedo's Denver headquarters, you'll be at the heart of developing technology that serves crucial applications from wildfire monitoring to national security. This role is perfect for an experienced engineer who's passionate about pushing the boundaries of space technology and wants to be part of a revolutionary approach to VLEO operations.
