Description
Who We Are:
Venus Aerospace is revolutionizing rocket engine propulsion. With the first generational leap in rocket engine technology since Apollo, our proprietary Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine and Venus Detonation Ramjets deliver historic efficiency and performance across aerospace applications. We are building the next generation of propulsion platforms that enable breakthrough capabilities in space, defense, and commercial high-speed flight. Our team thrives on solving the toughest engineering challenges and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in aerospace. At Venus, we’re looking for bold engineers and innovators who want to make history and redefine the future of propulsion.
The Role: Senior GNC Engineer
Join us as a Senior GNC Engineer and help design, build and flight test revolutionary propulsion technology. Be the first GNC engineer to implement Thrust Vector Control on a Rotating Detonation Engine vehicle. A new rocket engine is being born and you’ll ensure this powerful new technology flies and maneuvers. You’ll lead the design of flight controls, collaborate with flight software, avionics, vehicle design and HITL teams. This role blends engineering leadership, hands‑on engineering, hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing, and cross‑disciplinary collaboration to deliver reliable, flight‑ready systems. If you excel at systems thinking, solving hard problems, and driving technical leadership, you’ll thrive here.
