About this role
Flight Dynamics and Control Engineer globe (3) Flight Dynamics Engineer Role Description We are seeking a Flight Dynamics Engineer to join our flight program team. This is a full-time, in-office role for a professional with hands-on flight dynamics experience. This role focuses on attitude control, guidance, navigation, simulation, hardware integration, troubleshooting, and live flight operations. In this role, you will lead the integration, simulation, testing, and real-time operations of flight dynamics systems for our satellite builds to ensure seamless performance on orbit.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the technical integration, vendor management, interface and performance requirements for ADCS, propulsion systems, and hardware GNC components.
- Develop high-fidelity flight dynamics models to run trajectory analysis, momentum management, and propellant budgeting using tools like STK or custom Python simulations.
- Develop and tune control laws for pointing requirements, detumbling, and station-keeping.
- Work with the AI&T and Avionics teams to ensure flight dynamics hardware is integrated and calibrated correctly within the spacecraft bus.
- Transition from the design and simulation phase into "on-console" operations, handling flight dynamics-related anomalies and maneuvers.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
- Document design processes, test results, and system performance.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in spacecraft flight dynamics, including experience with attitude control and propulsion systems.
- Proficiency in mission design software and flight dynamics simulation tools.
- Proficiency in programming (Python, C++, or MATLAB) for modeling flight dynamics and flight software integration.
- Experience working in clean room environments and adh...
