James Godfrey

Principal GNC/AOCS Consultant

I am a Specialist Recruiter with 11+ years of experience in the Recruitment Industry. I previously worked in the Medical, Accountancy, and Tech markets before transitioning into the Space sector, focusing on the GNC/AOCS global market for Darwin Recruitment.

 

A GNC engineer (Guidance, Navigation, and Control engineer) specializes in designing and implementing systems that control the movement and orientation of vehicles, such as spacecraft, aircraft, missiles, or autonomous vehicles. Their work ensures these vehicles follow desired paths, maintain stability, and achieve mission objectives.

 

An AOCS engineer (Attitude and Orbit Control System engineer) is a specialist who designs and manages systems that control the orientation (attitude) and trajectory (orbit) of satellites and other space vehicles. Their work ensures the satellite or spacecraft remains in the correct position and follows the planned orbital path for successful operation.
