ROLE
– Independently design, analyze, and optimize satellite or constellation missions across all lifecycle phases
– Perform advanced orbit and constellation design, maneuver planning, coverage, revisit, and performance analyses
– Provide multiple mission architecture options with quantified trade-offs across performance, cost, operational complexity, and risk
– Anticipate mission constraints and proactively propose mitigation strategies
– Lead system-level trade studies across multiple mission concepts, architectures, and operational strategies
– Balance mission objectives against spacecraft constraints, operational feasibility, and program timelines
– Clearly communicate trade study outcomes and recommendations to technical leadership and program stakeholders
– Act as the mission design focal point across subsystem teams
– Work closely with program and commercial teams to interpret requirements and assess their technical and operational impact
– Anticipate cross-system interactions, identify integration risks early, and define mitigation approaches
– Develop and maintain integrated mission simulation environments combining multiple tools, models, and data sources
– Implement advanced automation, batch analyses, and dashboards to support rapid trade studies and decision-making
– Write high-quality, reusable Python/Java code and contribute shared libraries, templates, or workflows for team-wide use
– Provide technical guidance and design reviews for junior and mid-level mission design engineers
– Establish best practices for mission analysis, documentation, and reproducibility
– Support proposal development, early-phase mission studies, and external technical discussions as a subject-matter expert

REQUIREMENTS
– Strong expertise in orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, classical dynamics, and the LEO space environment
