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 skilled 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.
