The MDA Space team of more than 4 000 space experts in Canada, the US and the UK has the knowledge and know-how to turn an audacious customer vision into an achievable mission – bringing to bear a one-of-a-kind mix of experience, engineering excellence and wide-eyed wonder that’s been in our DNA since day one. For those who dream big and push boundaries on the ground and in the stars to change the world for the better, we’ll take you there.MDA Geospatial Services is adding a Flight Dynamics Analyst (FDA) to Satellite Operationssupporting multiple space missions operated at the Canadian Space Agency, in St-Hubert, QC. The satellite operations team at MDA is responsible for all flight operations activities with a focus on station-keeping, monitoring and maintaining the health and safety of the satellites, as well as improving their reliability and efficiency of the ground system.During their first year with the team, the candidate can expect to gain exposure to the relevant flight operation functional areas before transitioning to an on-call role. The main functional area for this role is flight dynamics including orbit determination and maneuvering. After training, the FDA will act as a first responder to any system anomalies and will be responsible for leading investigations and recoveries as well as leading conjunction analysis and avoidance activities. The FDA will be required to implement system modifications of both the spacecraft orbit and flight dynamics ground systems with cross-system interdependencies to enhance or maintain performance. The FDA should have a good understanding of spacecraft subsystems, including bus attitude control and propulsion systems. The FDA will also require an in-depth knowledge and understanding of ground systems including those used to task the spacecraft as well as processing and analysis tools used for monitoring of spacecraft telemetry. A good understanding of operational constraints and procedures is essential.



The FDA may have to review, test, and develop operational procedures and write reports.The candidate should have excellent organizational, leadership, and communications skills as well as a strong sense of real-time operations management. The candidate should have a good ability to work independently with initiative and little supervision as well as good reporting skills to management.Teamwork skills and a positive attitude are essential for building productive working relationships in a satellite operations environment.This position is located at the MDA Control Centre, Canadian Space Agency Headquarters, in St-Hubert, QC.Responsibilities:Monitor and report system performance, including performance of orbit control, against defined metrics through spacecraft telemetry analysis and other data sourcesOperate an orbit determination and control system and report on the performance and quality of the resultsPerform conjunction analysis and make recommendations for collision avoidance maneuvers when necessaryPlan and implement orbit maneuvers as neededTroubleshoot system (satellite and/or ground) anomalies with on-call support on a rotational basis when non-nominal operations are detectedLead development projects for system software and operational enhancementsFollow well-defined procedures and enforce application of well-defined processesMaintain flight operations systems, operations procedures, and other operational toolsRequirements:Degree or higher degree in numerate discipline, preferably in the areas of electrical, aerospace or mechanical engineering or physics. Post graduate degree in other Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields will also be consideredExperience in practical orbit determinationGood understanding of orbit mechanicsGood understanding of satellite bus subsystems (ADCS, power, thermal, etc.) and/or radar payload systemsStrong leadership experienceFlexible team player,



with the agility to work in a multi-disciplinary environmentWell-organized with ability to independently manage prioritiesKeen interest and passion for innovationGood verbal and written communication skills; Working language is in English (Department reporting to Ontario head office).Willingness to participate in a rotating “on-call” schedule to support anomaly decision and resolution process outside regular work hoursAbility to perform software maintenance in support of life cycle system improvementThe work is to be performed on site at the Canadian Space Agency in St-Hubert 5 days a week.The candidate must be able to qualify for a Canadian Secret level clearanceAssets:Experience in analysis tools such as STK/ODTK, Orekit, MATLABExperience with DatabasesComments/Special Considerations:Successful candidates must obtain and hold security clearance at the secret status level, and pass security assessment for the Controlled Goods Program (CGP).We’re a dream team of purpose-driven, collaborative and passionate people, and we are constantly looking for others to join #TeamMDA to ignite new and innovative approaches to problem-solving that push us forward to improve life on and above Earth. If you’re excited to expand our place in space and driven to inspire the next generation, we’ll take you there.We have entered a new era of exploration and development, and MDA welcomes all who yearn to suit up and be part of it. An equal prospect employer prizing diversity, integrity and collaboration, we are committed to growing MDA’s and Canada’s leadership in this next golden age.MDA provides competitive compensation and benefits packages for its employees at all locations.
