$180500 - $324000/Yearly

We are hiring a Senior Mission Analysis Engineer to support advanced space satellite and national security programs focused on mission analysis modeling and simulation constellation design EO/IR image processing and mission data processing algorithms. This role requires expertise in MATLAB Simulink Python C orbital mechanics satellite systems CONOPS development and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) while supporting end-to-end mission performance validation for complex aerospace and defense systems requiring a Top Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities:

• Lead mission analysis modeling simulation and technical performance assessments as the Responsible Engineering Authority (REA) for programs proposals and advanced technology studies.
• Develop maintain and enhance large-scale satellite constellation simulations to evaluate mission effectiveness and validate customer requirements.
• Design develop and optimize Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) image processing algorithms from sensor collection through mission exploitation.
• Create high-fidelity payload and spacecraft models to support system trades mission analysis and technical performance predictions.
• Develop innovative algorithms modeling techniques and mission data processing solutions supporting MW/MT Rendezvous & Proximity Operations (RPO) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) missions.
• Architect Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) to support mission planning validation and operational readiness.
• Design and implement image processing inertial tracking state estimation and optimal control algorithms for advanced sensor systems.
• Collaborate with software and firmware engineering teams to develop simulation environments including software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platforms.
• Support end-to-end system integration verification validation testing and on-orbit mission performance analysis.
• Partner with engineering and program leadership to deliver mission solutions that meet technical schedule and customer objectives.

Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizenship is required by Federal Law
• Ability to obtain an Interim and/or Final Top Secret Security Clearance after hire.
• Bachelors degree and 14 years of related engineering experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Minimum 7 years of experience modeling and simulating complex aerospace or space systems.
• Strong proficiency with MATLAB Simulink Python C or similar modeling and simulation tools.
• Experience developing mission simulations constellation analysis and technical performance models.
• Knowledge of mission analysis satellite systems spacecraft performance and mission data processing.
• Experience supporting aerospace defense national security or space programs.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Level 6 candidates with Bachelors degree and 20 years of related experience.
• 9 years of satellite design spacecraft development or on-orbit operations experience.
• Experience developing EO/IR optical system models and image processing algorithms.
• Familiarity with government image modeling tools including ASSET PRA Toolkit or AFSIM.
• Experience with orbital mechanics astrodynamics kinematic state estimation and spacecraft guidance.
• Knowledge of satellite crosslink or space-to-space communication networks.
• Experience supporting Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) Non-Maneuvering Characterization (NMC) or related orbital maneuver planning.
• Technical leadership experience including Responsible Engineering Authority (REA) Requirements Verification & Validation (V&V) Cost Account Management (CAM) and technical team leadership.
• Active TS/SCI Security Clearance.
