Mission Analysis Engineer (m/f/d)

Job description

Mission Brief As a Mission Analyst in the Reusability Program, you model and optimize ascent, reentry, and recovery concepts for our next‑generation launcher. Initially supporting ESA reusability studies, you translate Spectrum test insights into mission‑level performance assessments and constraints. You run trajectory optimization and Monte Carlo analyses to de‑risk key design choices. Your results directly inform vehicle architecture, flight‑dynamics decisions, and broader program planning. Your Role in Our Space Mission - Run end‑to‑end mission and trajectory optimization for ascent, reentry, and recovery scenarios, structuring problems for coupled multidisciplinary analysis and delivering actionable performance insights to inform system‑level decisions. - Perform trajectory analyses and MonteCarlo simulations to assess sensitivity to dispersions, environmental variations, and vehicle uncertainties. - Conduct mission planning and performance assessments for nearterm demonstrators and future HLV configurations. - Develop and execute multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) studies and design‑space exploration to integrate propulsion, aerodynamics, structures, mass properties,...
