Sharma Corp is a formation-stage, long-horizon technology company developing the systems required for humanity's future in space.
Our work spans autonomous spacecraft intelligence, mission-control infrastructure, communications, reusable launch systems, advanced propulsion, and future in-space infrastructure.
We are now looking for a
Founding Propulsion & Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) Engineer
to help establish Sharma Corp's first rocket engineering capability.
The Role
This is not a conventional engineering position.
You will work directly with the Founder on the earliest technical architecture for Sharma Corp's propulsion and launch-vehicle programs, including our
first propulsion system, first engine research program, reusable rocket architecture, and GNC stack
. You will help take the program from equations and simulations to hardware, testing and eventually flight.
What You Will Work On
Define the architecture of Sharma Corp's first rocket propulsion system.
Contribute directly to the design and development of our first rocket engine.
Perform propulsion performance modelling and trade studies.
Research combustion, injectors, chambers, nozzles, turbomachinery and propellant-feed systems.
Develop vehicle dynamics and six-degree-of-freedom flight simulations.
Design
Guidance, Navigation and Control
algorithms.
Model trajectory, stability, control authority and vehicle performance.
Support engine-to-launch-vehicle integration.
Develop simulation, verification and test frameworks.
Define instrumentation and ground-test requirements.
Support future static-fire and flight-test programs.
Maintain rigorous engineering documentation,



calculations and design decisions.
Help establish the technical standards from which Sharma Corp's future Propulsion and GNC teams will grow.
What We Are Looking For
You should have a strong foundation in one or more of:
Aerospace Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Propulsion
Rocket-engine design
Fluid mechanics
Thermodynamics
Combustion
Flight dynamics
Control systems
Orbital mechanics
GNC
MATLAB / Simulink
Python, C++ or equivalent engineering tools
You do
not
need to know everything listed above.
We care more about solid fundamentals, exceptional technical curiosity, the ability to learn rapidly, and the desire to build difficult systems from first principles.
Particularly Valuable Experience
Experience with any of the following would be valuable:
Liquid rocket engines
Hybrid or solid propulsion
CFD or FEA
Engine-cycle analysis
Propellant feed systems
Thrust-vector control
State estimation / Kalman filtering
Embedded flight software
Hardware-in-the-loop simulation
Rocket testing
Student rocketry or experimental aerospace projects
Why This Role Matters
This engineer will not simply join an established propulsion department.
You will help create it.
The engineering decisions made at this stage could influence Sharma Corp's propulsion, launch vehicle and spacecraft architecture for decades. Over time, this function is expected to develop into dedicated
Propulsion, GNC, Avionics, Structures, Flight Software and Test Engineering teams
.
We are looking for someone who wants to be present at the beginning.

Building Better Futures.
