  • Prior industry experience in aerospace or space & defense.
  • Systems engineering, with experience defining and executing trade studies. Engineering methodologies such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Multidisciplinary Design Analysis Optimization (MDAO), or Model-Based Design are a plus.  Demonstrated knowledge of supporting toolsets such as Cameo Enterprise Architect, Sparx Systems EA, or Ansys ModelCenter would be helpful.
  • Participation in engineering peer reviews, both as a developer and as a reviewer.
  • Advanced degree in engineering with emphasis on applications to space launch, orbit propagation, and maneuvering.
  • Professional certification (e.g., Professional Engineer, INCOSE CSEP, ITEA CTEP, Agile PM/PO, OMG OCSMP, etc.).
