Experienced Flight Dynamics Engineer (SSA)

Job description

About the role: We are building software that tracks what moves in orbit and flags what matters. You will be working with orbit determination in the intersection between orbital mechanics, mission operations, and intelligence. While you will touch upon many of our projects, your primary work will be to lead the technical work on our LSSA-Pilot project, developing the algorithms, data pipelines, and operational framing that make space situational awareness usable for non-engineers. You will work with our flight dynamicsists, who know the orbital mechanics. Your job is to translate sensor data into orbit knowledge and on to Space Situational Awareness. This role grows naturally toward technical leadership. What you will work on: Orbit determination, object tracking, and proximity analysis algorithms Integration of external space object catalogs and data sources Conjunction screening, collision avoidance computation, and launch safety analysis Defining CONOPS-level requirements: what operational users need to see, when, and why Collaboration with research and industry partners in the SSA domain What we are looking for: Mid-to-senior candidate, 58 years of experience.
