Launch is just the beginning. Join ABL in paving the way for the next-generation space platform.
Trajectory Analyst/Mission Designer
There is a lot of work required to make a mission successful, and it all starts with having a good plan. A Trajectory Analyst/Mission Designer will know how to optimize the path so we can get from point A to point B.

- Support generation of trajectory deliveries in support of flight safety analyses
- Support critical operations for launch as trajectory analyst
- Gather, define, and document requirements to support mission and/or trajectory designs
- Architect trajectory optimization infrastructure for ease of use and robustness
- Perform modeling and simulation tasks to validate system design and performance
- Step up as a leader to be at the forefront of solving the most challenging and impactful technical issues
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- B.S. degree from an accredited university
- 5+ years of experience in the development of aircraft, missile, launch vehicle, or spacecraft trajectory mission design
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- Proficiency in trajectory planning/design and optimization algorithms or tools (e.g. POST2, OTIS, TAOS)
- M.S. or PhD degree from an accredited university
- 8+ years of experience in the development of aircraft, missile, launch vehicle, or spacecraft trajectory mission design
- Previous experience analyzing and informing launch vehicle or hypersonic vehicle design

- Demonstrated skills in modeling, simulation, and analysis software and experience in at least one or more high-level programming languages (e.g. C, C++, or FORTRAN)
- Demonstrated ability to solve complex and difficult technical problems with simple robust solutions
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Must be willing to travel to launch and test sites up to 10%
