Controls Engineer designing and delivering energy control solutions for a clean future at Woodward. Involves project support, system design, and troubleshooting.
About the role
- Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer specializing in spacecraft trajectory optimization at Firefly Aerospace. Designing and optimizing spacecraft trajectories and collaborating with cross-functional teams on operational missions.
Responsibilities
- Optimize spacecraft trajectories to satisfy mission requirements while balancing delta-V budgets, mission duration, and payload constraints
- Design and maintain mission designs from the conceptual phase through the end of spacecraft mission operations
- Develop algorithms to target maneuvers that achieve spacecraft mission objectives
- Create maneuver error budgets and perform sensitivity analysis to assess robustness to execution uncertainties
- Formulate and analyze contingency maneuver plans and abort scenarios for off-nominal conditions
- Interface with cross-discipline teams to translate maneuver plans into executable command sequences and operational procedures
- Serve as a flight dynamics operator for spacecraft missions and perform maneuver reconstruction to improve spacecraft models
- Perform verification and validation of flight dynamics models and software using analytical solutions, benchmarks, flight data, and unit tests
- Author technical documentation and analysis reports that communicate flight dynamics concepts and results to diverse audiences
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, physics, mathematics, or related field
- 5-8 years of experience in spacecraft flight dynamics with significant depth in mission design or maneuver planning
- Experience supporting operational spacecraft missions through multiple mission phases
- Advanced understanding of orbital mechanics theory and applications
- Understanding of spacecraft attitude control and its impact on maneuver execution accuracy
- Strong understanding of targeting and optimization methods
- Knowledge of estimation theory and uncertainty modeling
- Experience in software development and modeling/simulation for spaceflight applications
- Working knowledge of Python and Linux
- Proficiency with one or more commercial trajectory design software tools (STK, FreeFlyer, GMAT, or similar)
Benefits
- generous health, dental and vision plans with low plan deductibles
- parental leave
- educational reimbursement
- short term disability
- flexible PTO options
