  • Automate analysis and STK workflows using Python or MATLAB
  • Communicate mission analysis across multidisciplinary engineering teams

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on Ansys STK experience is essential
  • 0 to 3 years' experience in mission analysis, astrodynamics, GNC or related spacecraft engineering
  • Relevant internships, research and student satellite projects considered
  • Strong understanding of orbital mechanics and trajectory analysis
  • Python and/or MATLAB experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Astronautical Engineering, Physics or a closely related field
  • U.S. Citizenship

Nice to have

  • STK Astrogator
  • STK Python API or Connect commands
  • Cislunar or lunar trajectory analysis
  • Lunar orbit insertion
  • Low-thrust or electric propulsion
  • GMAT, FreeFlyer, Orekit or Basilisk
