Constellation Mission and Trajectory Analyst III

About the Role We are looking for a Constellation Mission and Trajectory Analyst to join the Astrodynamics and Trajectory Execution team. In this role, you will be an individual contributor, subject matter expert, and primary analyst for constellation trajectory‑related modeling and simulation, delta‑v budgeting, station‑keeping analysis, lifetime analysis, terrain footprints, and other related data products. You will begin as a preliminary mission design role and grow into a role that eventually involves operational flight dynamics. Responsibilities Architectural design of LEO constellations, MEO architectures, and GEO satellites Analytical trade studies of LEO, MEO, and GEO mission concepts Scripted use of numerical modeling and simulation trajectory tools (e.g. STK, GMAT, FreeFlyer, Monte) for LEO and MEO constellation design in high‑fidelity dynamical models Development of trajectory design algorithms for Earth‑based station‑keeping simulations Development of overall delta‑v budgets that result in feasible mission architectures Development of overall mission and trajectory ConOps and timeline activities Development of launch vehicle trajectory interface conditions Inform mission‑level requirements Perform Monte‑Carlo analysis of dispersed trajectory scenarios Develop overall collision avoidance processes and orbit debris mitigation processes Develop maneuver design software in Python, Julia, and the Monte toolkit Deliver results in accordance with Agile methodology Understand necessary tracking and measurements needed for orbit determination performance Support development of technical memos, presentations, and documentation Present results and support gated reviews Minimum Qualifications B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields 5+ years of proven experience focused in satellite mission design Applied experience in mission design tools such as Monte, STK/ODTK, FreeFlyer, Copernicus, or GMAT Strong fundamentals in astrodynamics Applied experience in constellation orbit design and trade studies Baseline understanding of LEO, MEO, GEO satellite maneuver sequences such as orbit raising, station‑keeping, and disposal Experience in at least one of the following languages: Python, Julia, or C++ Demonstrated knowledge of the preliminary mission design cycle Experience defining, planning, and documenting ConOps for spacecraft missions Experience with defining collision avoidance processes Excellent verbal and written communication skills Experience working on and communicating with a distributed team Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum Preferred Qualifications M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields Detailed knowledge of large‑scale computing and Monte‑Carlo analysis Detailed algorithmic knowledge of low‑thrust orbit raising and station‑keeping for large‑scale LEO and MEO constellations, as well as GEO satellites Demonstrated knowledge of the mission design lifecycle from conceptualization through operational flight Experience with DevOps processes including configuration control, continuous development and deployment workflows, Agile methodologies, software code review Previous experience with software development tooling such as Jira, git, Jenkins, Docker and at least one IDE Willingness or ability to acquire Active Top Secret (TS) / Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) security clearance with Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) – polygraph preferred Compensation Base Pay Range for CO applicants is $119,814.00 – $167,738.55.
