Develop ΔV budgets, maneuver timelines and propulsion requirements

Run orbital trade studies and sensitivity analyses

Support GNC requirements, navigation, orbit determination and pointing profiles

Develop mission CONOPS and maneuver sequences

Automate analysis and STK workflows using Python or MATLAB

Communicate mission analysis across multidisciplinary engineering teams

What we're looking for

Hands-on Ansys STK experience is essential

0 to 3 years' experience in mission analysis, astrodynamics, GNC or related spacecraft engineering

Relevant internships, research and student satellite projects considered

Strong understanding of orbital mechanics and trajectory analysis

Python and/or MATLAB experience

Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Astronautical Engineering, Physics or a closely related field

U.S. Citizenship

Nice to have

STK Astrogator

STK Python API or Connect commands

Cislunar or lunar trajectory analysis

Lunar orbit insertion

Low-thrust or electric propulsion

GMAT, FreeFlyer, Orekit or Basilisk

CubeSat or student satellite experience

Spacecraft flight operations

This is a strong opportunity for an early-career engineer looking for direct exposure to orbital dynamics, propulsion, GNC and spacecraft design while contributing to a lunar mission.
