Design and implement GNC designs for new spacecraft designs to accommodate a variety of new mission payloads onto Airbus spacecraft platforms. Analyze, design, and/or develop GNC systems to include: Sensors and actuators Algorithms and flight software GNC electronics Support the development of subsystem level requirements and requirement flow-down to the various components and parts as necessary - in all phases of the development lifecycle with particular emphasis on Design for Cost/Design for Manufacturability/Design for Test approaches. Ensure the maximum reuse of the existing Airbus heritage products and if necessary, identify need for modification. Ability to drive multiple design activities (programs or mission) – could lead to spacecraft, payload, satellite bus, and/or launch integration activities. Demonstrated ability to participate in cross-functional planning, coordination, and task execution situations involving the full spectrum of engineering and integration activities

Support Airbus spacecraft development product roadmap: includes design adjustments, schedule, and cost targets aligned for future business captures. Support the definition of spacecraft customization process for customer mission needs

Perform all the necessary GNC system engineering activities to build, to maintain and to evolve the Airbus spacecraft products. Promote and optimize cost savings by reuse of the heritage platform designs and manufacturing infrastructures in the pursuit of various constellation prospects.
