  • Build tools that rapidly analyze, interpret, and visualize mission design results
  • Integrate mission design details into high‑quality written proposals
  • Meet with customers to capture requirements and gather feedback on proposed solutions
  • Evaluate mission concepts for performance and identify improvements
  • Partner with Engineering to advance spacecraft simulation and trajectory optimization tools
  • Collaborate with Business Development to understand customer needs and establish the most compelling approach for each proposal opportunity
  • Drive key mission design tasks such as CONOPS development, maneuver planning, trajectory optimization, requirements verification, CAD fit checks, propellant and power budgeting, and link budget analysis


Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical field
  • 4+ years in a technical engineering role
  • Strong ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and professionally
  • Working knowledge of orbital mechanics and spacecraft operations
  • Functional understanding of spacecraft systems and payload accommodations
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python preferred)


Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Master’s degree in a technical field
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance or willingness to obtain one
  • Experience in customer‑facing roles
  • Hands‑on experience assembling spacecraft, supervising spacecraft build, or integrating payloads
  • Experience operating spacecraft in orbit
  • Broad familiarity with the space industry
  • Proven ability to operate effectively in a startup environment
  • Experience with CAD tools
  • Experience building physics simulations or using orbital simulation software

Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
