- Research advanced algorithms for use in improving the level of optimization of orbital trajectories
- Train other team members in the use of basic orbit simulation and design tools
- Support the writing of proposals by providing technical content and review as well as trajectory visualizations and descriptions
- Work with vehicle design teams to incorporate trajectory optimization into design trade studies
- Meet occasionally with customers to understand customer needs, and incorporate those needs into mission designs
- Perform mission design tasks as needed including constellation design, impact probability analysis, and other related analyses
Profile
- BS in Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or the equivalent and 4-8 years experience
- Alternatively BS and MS in Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or the equivalent and 2-6 years experience
- PhD preferred
- Mission design and orbit simulation experience using commercial software (STK, FreeFlyer, etc.) or custom software
- Experience with optimal control theory and implementation
