Job description

Mission Analysis Engineer (Senior) - Millennium Space Systems Company: Millennium Space Systems Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Our missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation. Our team is curious, bold and innovative. We take risks, innovate and explore new techniques and technologies. We influence change because we challenge the status quo. And when we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen. The Mission Analysis Engineering team is focused on (a) design and development of Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) from key customer requirements; (b) modeling and simulation of satellites, constellations, and system-of-systems; and (c) design and integration of mission data processing algorithms, such as EO/IR image processing or inertial tracking. They are key stakeholders in the design and validation of mission CONOPS and Design Reference Missions (DRM) and are leaders in comprehensive end-to-end software integration, validation, and testing. The team owns the development and validation of the satellite/constellation mission, as well as the predicted technical performance metrics (TPMs) for the program. They are chief architects and implementers of mission data processing algorithms, ensuring mission level objectives are met.
