We are looking for a Mission Analysis & Technical Budgets Engineer to join our Space Missions selected candidate will be responsible for carrying out low-level mission analysis including all related details. They will perform the necessary orbital analyses and technical budgets (power delta-V data pointing) based on the mission objectives as well as requirements traceability. They will also be responsible for implementing the CONOPS defined by Systems Engineering in STK and participating in the required thermal analyses.
Position Tasks and Responsibilities
Main responsibilities include:
Perform mission analysis tasks for small satellite missions (orbit selection orbit propagation coverage access windows V requirements station passes).- Develop and maintain technical budgets (power delta-V pointing etc).
Support verification by analysis of mission-level requirements.
Conduct thermal analysis (desirable not required).
Contribute to the development and evolution of internal mission analysis tools (Python-based).
Use STK to perform mission analysis and generate key performance indicators (KPIs).
Document results and contribute to technical reviews (PDR CDR etc.).
Interface with Systems Engineering and other teams to ensure coherence across mission performance budgets.
Support design iterations through analytical justification of key design decisions.
Candidate qualifications and skills
The ideal candidate should have:
Fluency in English (written and spoken).
Minimum of 5 years of experience in space missions preferably with small satellites or CubeSats.
Solid knowledge of orbital mechanics and mission analysis methods.
Experience in technical budget development (power V pointing etc).
Proficiency in Python for data analysis and tool development.
Experience with STK for mission analysis.
Experience in space radiation analysis.
Knowledge of Systems Engineering principles.
About us
About Aln Space
Aln Space is aNew Space company focused on the development of missions based on Nanosatellites as well as products and services related to them. Our mission is to help our clients to develop their business plan designing manufacturing and operating satellites in order to execute the application they need. While Aln Space is a new company our team has been involved in several complete nanosatellite missions from specification to delivery during the last15 years. Aln Space technical team is composed of systems engineers electronic engineers AIV engineers software and operations engineers and project managers; with a large experience on IOD communication commercial and scientific missions with private and public institutions such as the European Space Agency. Aln Spaces value proposition resides in the flexibility and expertise of our team. We utilize our design and testing methodologies which allow the use of components from various suppliers to create the most suitable platform for the requested mission. During more than a decadeall our nanosatellites missions have been fully designed in-house following the same multi-provider approach resulting on a 100% success rate in orbit for all launched missions. At Aln Space quality and flexibility in the design manufacturing and testing are hallmarks of the company. The quality of the process is achieved through meticulous testing and verification processes keeping traceability of all the executed activities. The flexibility is achieved thanks to the proximity relationship with our clients and to our supplier agnostic approach. This relationship aims not only at easing the communication process but also at allowing our commercial clients to take an important role on the design aspects. In this line we design the most flexible spacecraft platforms to accommodate subsystem suppliers changes without heavily impacting the overall mission.Our systems and AIV engineers work closely with the client in order to take decisions and involve them in the process. Our team has enhanceda work method that applies the strict quality standards set by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS). All of our management system engineering and AIV processes are based on those standards. Quality Flexibility Scalability Proximity Expertise and Success define all Aln Space values. Do you want to orbit with us We offer the opportunity to join a challenging space project together with a self-motivated team with great experience in the design and manufacturing of small satellites!
