True Anomaly
Software Engineer I, Spacecraft Simulation (New Grad)
About this role
True Anomaly seeks an entry-level Software Engineer to develop high-fidelity multi-physics simulation software for spacecraft and constellation modeling. You'll write modern C++ code to implement 6DOF dynamics, thermal, power, and propulsion models while learning from experienced engineers in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment.
What you'll do
- Write efficient, maintainable C++ code (C++17/C++20) following team standards and code review practices
- Develop multi-physics simulation libraries for 6DOF rigid body dynamics with environmental perturbations
- Implement thermal modeling including conduction, radiation, and solar heating
- Build attitude dynamics, control system, and propulsion system simulation components
- Create power generation/distribution and sensor/actuator models
- Contribute to coupled physics algorithms capturing subsystem interactions
What they're looking for
- C++ (C++17 or C++20)
- Multi-physics simulation
- 6DOF rigid body dynamics
- Attitude control systems
- Thermal and power system modeling
- Software design and code maintainability
- Problem-solving and physics fundamentals
- Collaborative development practices
Benefits
- Mentorship from experienced aerospace engineers
- Work on cutting-edge spacecraft autonomy technology
- Exposure to full-stack simulation and control systems
- Fast-paced, interdisciplinary team environment
- Potential conversion to regular employment
- Two office locations: Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA
