PierSight
We are seeking an AOCS / Flight Dynamics Lead to take end-to-end ownership of spacecraft attitude and orbit behaviour for a SAR satellite constellation. The role involves ensuring the spacecraft's proper pointing, movement, and state estimation during all mission phases, supporting SAR data product quality.
PierSight designs and builds mission-specific synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems — including a constellation of SAR + AIS satellites (Varuna) for persistent maritime surveillance and a drone-agnostic foliage-penetrating SAR payload (Vidura) for defense and tactical reconnaissance. Their systems deliver persistent, all-weather, day-and-night intelligence for use cases such as EEZ monitoring, IUU fishing detection, oil spill detection, counter-insurgency, and cross-border surveillance. PierSight serves defence agencies, government operators, and commercial customers including shipping companies, maritime insurers, and fisheries managers.
