- As a Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer, you will develop and maintain in-house and commercial flight dynamics and mission analysis software tools, and apply them to design, analyze, and operate our satellite constellations. You will engage with E-Space Guidance Navigation and Controls, Software, and Operations engineers. This position will report to the Director of GNC and will be based in our Saratoga office.
- End-to-end development, validation, and use of state-of-the-art scalable in-house flight dynamics software, for high-fidelity constellation orbit propagation and maneuver simulations.
- Perform various studies using STK, including validation of in-house tools and models, flight dynamics studies and mission analyses (e.g., deployment, maneuver design, lifetime prediction, collision avoidance, ground pass and coverage analysis).
- Design, optimize, and automate orbit maneuver strategies and algorithms for constellation deployment, station-keeping, replenishment, collision avoidance, and re-entry.
- Architect, develop, and deploy Space Situation Awareness (SSA) and collision avoidance strategies.
- Develop and use both commercial and in-house tools to support spacecraft operations.
- Own all aspects of software development, including architecture, development, testing, configuration management, mission integration and operation.
- Interact cross-functionally with other subsystem engineers across E-Space locations, providing expertise feedback, and contributing ideas as needed.
- Participate, present and prepare documentation for design reviews.
- You have a Master's+ 5 years of relevant experience or a PhD + 3 years of relevant experience.
- Your degree is in Aerospace, Software, Mathematics, or another relevant field.
- Your experience is in orbital flight dynamics or mission analysis, preferably related to low-Earth orbit and constellations.
- You have deep knowledge and experience in orbital mechanics, including orbit propagation and maneuvers, in particular for low-Earth orbit constellations.
- You have deep experience with STK, or equivalent tools (e.g., GMAT, FreeFlyer).
- You have software development experience in C/C++, Matlab, and Python.
- You have experience developing scalable collaborative software projects based on Git repositories.
- You have theoretical knowledge and practical experience with numerical integrators and differential equations.
