ROLE
– Mission & Orbit Design
– 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.
– System-Level Analysis & Trade Studies
– 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.
– Cross-Functional Systems Integration
– 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.
– Mission Design Tools, Automation & Simulation
– Use mission design and analysis tools such as Orekit, STK, GMAT, FreeFlyer, or equivalent platforms.
– Documentation & Communication
– Produce clear technical documentation covering mission design assumptions, analyses, results, and recommendations.
– Support internal reviews, external discussions, and cross-team alignment through structured presentations and written reports

REQUIREMENTS
– Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, classical dynamics, and the LEO environment.
– Ability to independently decompose complex problems and develop structured solutions.
