Orbital Dynamics Engineer
$135kEVONA
Mission Analyst / Orbital Dynamics Engineer
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Salary: Up to $135,000
U.S. Citizenship Required
We’re working with an innovative space technology company looking for an early-career Mission Analyst / Orbital Dynamics Engineer to join a small, fast-moving engineering team supporting a lunar mission.
This is a hands-on role connecting mission and trajectory analysis directly to spacecraft design. You’ll work extensively with Ansys STK , trajectories and ΔV data, translating mission analysis into requirements and CONOPS used by GNC, propulsion and spacecraft engineering teams.
What you'll be doing
- Build, run and independently validate Ansys STK scenarios
- Analyse trajectories, orbit propagation, access, lighting and eclipse conditions
- Develop ΔV budgets, maneuver timelines and propulsion requirements
- Run orbital trade studies and sensitivity analyses
- Support GNC requirements, navigation, orbit determination and pointing profiles
- Develop mission CONOPS and maneuver sequences
- Automate analysis and STK workflows using Python or MATLAB
- Communicate mission analysis across multidisciplinary engineering teams
What we're looking for
- Hands-on Ansys STK experience is essential
- 0 to 3 years' experience in mission analysis, astrodynamics, GNC or related spacecraft engineering
- Relevant internships, research and student satellite projects considered
- Strong understanding of orbital mechanics and trajectory analysis
- Python and/or MATLAB experience
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Astronautical Engineering, Physics or a closely related field
- U.S. Citizenship
Nice to have
- STK Astrogator
- STK Python API or Connect commands
- Cislunar or lunar trajectory analysis
- Lunar orbit insertion
- Low-thrust or electric propulsion
- GMAT, FreeFlyer, Orekit or Basilisk
- CubeSat or student satellite experience
- Spacecraft flight operations
This is a strong opportunity for an early-career engineer looking for direct exposure to orbital dynamics, propulsion, GNC and spacecraft design while contributing to a lunar mission.
