Operation Engineer III, Flight Dynamics

<p>Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.</p>

<p><u>OUR MISSION</u></p>

<p>True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.</p>

<p><u>OUR VALUES</u></p>

<ul>

<li><strong>Be the offset.</strong>&nbsp;We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.</li>

<li><strong>What would it take?</strong>&nbsp;We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.</li>

<li><strong>It’s the people.</strong>&nbsp;Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.</li>

</ul><p><strong>YOUR MISSION&nbsp;<br></strong></p>

<p>We are seeking an experienced Flight Dynamics Engineer to support advanced satellite rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO). This role will focus on supporting on-orbit mission operations through orbit determination, maneuver planning, conjunction assessment, and performance monitoring across nominal and off-nominal scenarios. This role develops and prototypes analytical tools, scripts, and workflows to improve operational efficiency, decision quality, and automation, while providing timely&nbsp;analysis in support of real-time and near-real-time operations. Working closely with mission operations, GNC, and software teams, the Flight Dynamics Engineer translates operational needs into practical flight dynamics solutions,&nbsp;validates&nbsp;methods through simulation and on-orbit data, and contributes to the continuous improvement of operational concepts and procedures.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;<strong>RESPONSIBILITIES</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Plan, simulate, and execute&nbsp;spacecraft missions&nbsp;spanning from&nbsp;early-orbit&nbsp;operations to&nbsp;RPO&nbsp;taskings.&nbsp;</li>

<li>Lead development and integration of automation and mission planning tools to enhance mission planning, execution, and post-analysis.</li>

<li>Provide subject matter expertise&nbsp;for company ground system and flight software development.</li>

<li>Provide surge support as both an operator and developer for mission engineering, systems engineering, and GNC/AA teams to ensure mission&nbsp;and operational readiness.</li>

<li>Monitor spacecraft telemetry and health in real-time during operations; identify&nbsp;anomalies and support mitigation</li>

<li>Assist&nbsp;in the development of&nbsp;operational procedures, flight rules, and checklists for RPO activities</li>

<li>Conduct post-mission analysis and lessons-learned sessions to continuously improve operational processes</li>

<li>Conduct orbit state determination for cooperative, non-cooperative, and uncooperative SVs and derive intent&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>QUALIFICATIONS</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering&nbsp;or related field</li>

<li>Strong understanding of astrodynamics, control &amp; optimization, and satellite subsystems</li>

<li>History of solving astrodynamics problems&nbsp;in programming languages such as&nbsp;Typescript,&nbsp;Python,&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;C/C++</li>

<li>5+ years of spacecraft operations&nbsp;and simulation&nbsp;experience, preferably including rendezvous and proximity operations</li>

</ul>
