- Perform mission analysis and trajectory optimization for launch vehicle and spacecraft missions, considering various parameters such as payload mass, target orbit, and mission objectives.
- Support to mission design for interplanetary and Earth Observation missions
- Modelling and simulation of space systems, including space environment and space vehicle dynamics
- Analyse mission requirements and constraints to determine launch windows, ascent trajectories, staging events, and orbital manoeuvres.
- Conduct sensitivity analyses and trade studies to evaluate the impact of different mission parameters on performance, payload capacity, and mission success.
- Perform GNC (Guidance, Navigation and Control) assessments.
- Develop software tools for mission analysis activities.
- Utilize specialized software tools and simulation models to perform trajectory calculations, propulsion system performance analyses, and mission performance predictions.
- Evaluate mission risks, including launch vehicle performance margins, propellant reserves, and contingency plans, to ensure mission safety and success.
- Support launch site selection and launch campaign planning by assessing the compatibility of the launch vehicle with the target orbit and launch range infrastructure.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including systems engineers, propulsion engineers, and trajectory designers, to define mission requirements and ensure their integration into the overall mission architecture.
- Generate mission-related documentation, including mission profiles, trajectory reports, and performance analyses, to communicate mission requirements and analysis results to internal teams and external stakeholders.
- Participate in technical reviews, meetings, and presentations, providing mission analysis expertise and insights to stakeholders and project teams.
- Generate documentation, including user guides, guidelines and user manuals for internal customers use.
- Generate documentation for formal program development reviews.

**Required Knowledge**:

- Aerospace Engineering bachelor’s degree or demonstrable relevant experience in lieu thereof. Advanced degree preferred.
- 5 years of relevant technical experience.
- Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, and mission analysis principles.
- Proficiency in using mission analysis software tools, such as ASTOS (Astrodynamics Tool Software), STK (Systems Toolkit), or similar.
- Knowledge of optimization theory and techniques.
- Knowledge of Software engineering methods and techniques
- Knowledge of launch vehicle performance parameters, such as mass fractions, delta-v budgets, and propellant utilization.
- Familiarity with spacecraft subsystems and their impact on mission design, including power, communication, and thermal constraints.
- Understanding of launch vehicle integration and launch campaign planning processes.

**Required Competencies**:

- Analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to perform complex mission analysis tasks and trade studies.
