Senior GNC Engineer
First seen by Alion on Sep 8, 2026. Darwin Recruitment scores B on the Alion truth index.
Darwin Space are currently hiring for a Senior GNC Engineer for a company in Belgium.
The role:
* Own the technical direction of a new actuator development programme, from concept through to delivery, working alongside a dedicated project manager who leads on delivery and schedule
* Act as the main technical point of contact for customers, including presenting project progress where required
* Help build out a new engineering team as the business line grows
* Play a leading role in shaping future projects within this new business area as it expands
What they are looking for:
* Solid systems engineering experience within AOCS or GNC, ideally including full development-cycle experience on actuator hardware such as reaction wheels, CMGs or similar
* Background in attitude control product development is strongly preferred over general satellite bus, platform or electronics experience
* Roughly 3+ years’ relevant experience upwards - seniority is flexible and will be matched to the strength of your actuator/AOCS background rather than years alone
* Comfortable operating with a good degree of autonomy on a brand-new programme, and confident building relationships directly with customers
Darwin Recruitment is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
