Mission Analysis Engineer

As Mission Analysis Engineer, you will:Control and estimate Technical Budgets (Mass, Power, Data, Link, Delta-V, Energy)Perform Mission Analysis (Sensor Coverage, Ground Station Access) using various simulation tools for satellites and small constellationsPerform Flight Dynamics simulations using STK Pro and/or other tools for satellite orbit correctionPerform Space Debris requirements compliance analysisPerform Reliability AnalysisPerform technical trade-off studies to drive design decisions of the spacecraftPerform ad-hoc technical studies and reports to support in-orbit missions and potential projectsEnsure that the technical documentation delivered is technically aligned with requirements and top-level designWe expect you to have:Technical background, e.g., bachelor’s degree in Aerospace engineering, Physics, or related field – because a strong background makes for a quick startStrong critical and analytical thinking capability – to understand what the mission needs and suggest the best technical solutionsProficiency with STK Pro, Matlab, DRAMA, and/or equivalent orbital analysis tools – because you will need more than a calculator to analyze space missionsFundamental understanding of physical principles and how they apply to real-world problems – because knowledge must be applied to bring about the resultStrong sense of ownership – because behind every successful space mission, there is someone who caresThe ability to work both independently and as part of a team – because making your own deliverables is not enough to succeedGood communication and interpersonal skills are required – because quite a bit of talking and chatting is involvedKnowledge and experience in Flight Dynamics (formation flying, constellation design) and Python would be an advantageA minimum of 1 year of experience is highly preferred, but we welcome motivated candidates who are eager to learnYou DO NOT BELIEVE in the FLAT Earth – otherwise it may be difficult to explain the flight dynamicsSalarySalary starts from £36 000to £60 000 annuallyThe final offer will depend on the level of competencies and experienceApply
