  • Perform general program maintenance and fixes.
  • Ensure NASA requirements are satisfied by design solutions and support production/control board meetings, design reviews, and system reviews.
  • Support regression testing and documentation.
  • Provide trajectory products supporting spacecraft mission design and analysis for Deep Space Logistics Moon Base missions and other missions directed by the Deep Space Logistics Project Office.
  • Perform trajectory optimization runs to characterize vehicle performance and mission availability for a variety of scenarios.
  • Support development, integration, and testing of new algorithms for evaluation of vehicle and mission performance.
  • Support mission scenarios including ascent, entry, precision landing, and Rendezvous Proximity Operations and Docking.
  • Travel as required in support of technical reviews and exchanges.
  • Provide recommendations for program acceptance of requirements verification, testing, risks, and hazards.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • BS degree in Engineering from an accredited engineering school plus eight (8) or more years of experience with spacecraft trajectory analysis; or MS degree in Engineering from an accredited engineering school plus four (4) or more years of experience with spacecraft trajectory analysis.
  • Demonstrated capability to independently devise solutions to complex engineering problems through individual effort and by soliciting input from other technical experts.
  • Expertise in orbital mechanics and/or spacecraft mission design.
  • Experience with programming and scripting languages such as modern Fortran, Python, and/or C++.
  • Experience working in a team environment.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen and successfully complete a U.S. government background investigation.
