ROLE
– Design and optimize satellite orbits, maneuvers, and mission profiles to meet mission objectives and constraints
– Perform orbit and constellation design, maneuver planning, coverage analysis, and revisit studies for defined mission scenarios
– Support all mission phases including launch, commissioning, and deorbit planning
– Interpret analysis results to provide multiple viable mission design options with clear trade-offs
– Conduct system-level trade studies across mission architectures, operational concepts, and spacecraft configurations
– Perform day-in-the-life simulations, sensitivity analyses, and feasibility assessments
– Quantitatively balance performance, cost, risk, and operational complexity
– Clearly document trade outcomes and support technical decision-making in program and design reviews
– Collaborate closely with subsystem teams including Systems Engineering, AOCS/GNC, EPS, Propulsion, Communications, Payload, Mission Operations and Thermal
– Translate mission objectives into mission requirements, system requirements, and operational constraints
– Participate in subsystem design reviews and interface discussions, developing a working understanding of subsystem dependencies
– Use mission design and analysis tools such as Orekit, STK, GMAT, FreeFlyer, or equivalent platforms
– Produce clear technical documentation covering mission design assumptions, analyses, results, and recommendations

REQUIREMENTS
– Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, classical dynamics, and the LEO environment
– Ability to independently decompose complex problems and develop structured solutions
– Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills
– Experience with full lifecycle development of LEO spacecraft
– Familiarity with spacecraft subsystems and their operational constraints
– Prior involvement in operational mission support or flight dynamics activities
– Systems-level thinking with attention to analytical rigor
– Comfort working across disciplines and ambiguity
– Ownership mindset with strong documentation and follow-through
– Ability to balance engineering depth with practical mission constraint
