  • Process the simulation data and perform Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) and trajectory/performance analyses to ensure compliance with mission design requirements
  • Interface with Launch Service Provider (LSP) personnel and resolve related technical issues in support of mission integration activities
  • Participate in related LSP technical reviews and support discipline analysis working group meetings
  • Document and present responsible IV&V activities and analyses
  • Provide technical support to the management as requested

Requirements

  • Must have the ability to obtain and maintain an active Secret security clearance
  • Strong technical understanding in orbital mechanics, vehicle dynamics, GNC, aerodynamics, and rocket propulsion
  • Excellent capability in model development, computer programming, and data analysis
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
