Core Responsibilities:

  • Maneuver planning:
    • Lead the planning and execution of satellite maneuvers to optimize orbital parameters, such as altitude adjustments, inclination changes, and phasing maneuvers.
    • Develop maneuver strategies to maximize operational efficiency, extend satellite lifetime, and maintain desired constellation geometries.
  • Constellation analysis:
    • Perform detailed analysis of constellation configurations to optimize system performance and meet mission objectives.
    • Implement algorithms and tools for constellation planning, including orbit determination and constellation design optimization.
  • COLA assessment:
    • Using a combination of tools and developed algorithms, conduct comprehensive conjunction analysis to assess potential collisions between satellites and space debris, ensuring safety and integrity of the satellite constellation and orbital environment.
  • Tool development and improvements
    • Drive the development and enhancement of software tools for orbital dynamics analysis, incorporating advanced algorithms and automation capabilities to streamline processes and improve decision-making.

During your first 12 Months:

  • Update and implement enhanced methodologies for satellite collision avoidance analysis, maneuvers, ephemeris generation and distribution.
  • Drive the development and implementation of best practices in orbital dynamics with the organization.
  • Implement automation capabilities to improve the decision making process and maneuver response times.
  • Participate in make/buy trades for relevant orbital dynamics software to meet mission requirements and operational needs.
  • Lead all flight dynamics efforts during launch and early operations phases of the satellite fleet, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to support successful satellite deployment and initial operations.
