The GNC Engineer will design and implement guidance logic for interception and landing, develop collision avoidance systems, and validate performance through simulations and tests.
Evolved Aerospace develops mission-critical aerospace systems designed for real operational use.
We combine autonomy, software, sensing, and systems integration to deliver capability that performs in contested and constrained environments — not just in test settings.
Our work is guided by a simple principle: platforms are means, not the objective. Mission outcomes define success.
