GNC Engineer

  • Develop guidance, navigation, and control architectures for an autonomous free-flying orbital platform, including ADCS design, sensor/actuator selection, and disturbance environment analysis for uncrewed long-duration operations

  • Lead GNC requirements definition, algorithm development, and V&V planning with an emphasis on autonomous fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) in support of uncrewed mission operations

Propulsion Engineer

  • Design, analyze, and test propulsion systems for an autonomous commercial orbital platform, including trade studies on propellant selection, thruster sizing, and delta-V budgets to support autonomous station-keeping and attitude control

  • Own propulsion subsystem requirements, interface definition, and integration with the spacecraft bus through all phases of development, with consideration for uncrewed operability and autonomous staffing.

Engineer - Visionary by design.

Are you the kind of person who sees a CAD sketch and imagines a revolution?
At Hitchhiker Orbital, we’re not just building aerospace systems—we’re designing the future. We’re looking for someone who:
  • Has mad CAD skills and a love for parametric modeling  
  • Treats every design challenge like a puzzle worth solving  
  • Is obsessed with efficiency, elegance, and impact  
  • Believes in improving this world—and the next  
  • Wants more than a job: **you want to lead, guide, and change the landscape**
We’re recruiting from the best student aerospace teams and clubs worldwide. If you’ve built rockets, designed UAVs, or coded your way through orbital mechanics, we want to talk.
This isn’t just an internship. It’s a launchpad.
