Lead satellite flight dynamics with orbit design and trajectory analysis at MDA, supporting current and next-generation missions across their life cycles.

As a principal engineer, you will define flight dynamics requirements, develop high-fidelity models, and validate engineering software. The work spans orbit determination, maneuver planning, mission analysis, and operational support. You will translate mission objectives into orbital concepts and reliable operational solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead orbit, transfer, maneuver, and decommissioning trajectory design
- Develop high-fidelity propagation, maneuver, covariance, and estimation models
- Perform orbit determination, tracking evaluation, and uncertainty analysis
- Validate analyses using STK, Python, MATLAB, or C#
- Support launch, commissioning,



station-keeping, and emergency operations

Requirements:

- Bachelor degree in aerospace engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or related field
- At least ten years of relevant post-graduation qualified experience
- Deep proficiency in orbital perturbations, propagation, and maneuver design
- Experience developing, testing, and validating engineering software
- Excellent English communication and ability to work independently

Apply satellite flight dynamics expertise, numerical analysis, and technical leadership to MDA missions and operational orbital challenges.
