Mission Analyst

About the Position

Contribute to mission design, flight dynamics, and software development for space missions, combining hands-on engineering work with customer-facing activities around our 360™ tool.

Work at the intersection of mission analysis and cutting-edge software, delivering real impact on how the next generation of satellites navigate space.

Responsibilities

• Perform mission analysis tasks including trajectory design, propulsion sizing, and spacecraft maneuver planning for internal projects and consulting contracts.
• Develop, test, and validate software models and simulations for mission analysis and flight dynamics.
• Contribute to the development and quality of our 360™ tool, with a focus on customer needs and engineering standards.
• Support customers in the use of company tools and solutions, providing technical guidance under the supervision of the Tech Lead.
• Collaborate in the preparation of technical proposals and work closely with engineering and operations teams to ensure mission requirements are met.

Requirements

Must Have

• Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of hands-on experience combining mission analysis and software development within the space sector, or a strong track record in one with demonstrable exposure to the other.
• Proficiency in Python, including experience with scientific computing libraries (e.g. NumPy, SciPy) and the development or consumption of RESTful APIs.
• Good understanding of spacecraft modeling and key subsystems, including propulsion, ADCS, power, communications, and thermal control.
• Familiarity with mission analysis and flight dynamics tools or libraries such as GMAT, STK, Orekit, FreeFlyer, or equivalent.
• Solid understanding of software engineering practices, including object-oriented programming, test-driven development, and version control. Experience with GitHub for version control and collaborative development is expected.
• Solid grounding in orbital and attitude mechanics, optimization, and spacecraft operations.
• Ability to manage assigned tasks with autonomy while knowing when to escalate or seek guidance.
• Collaborative and proactive attitude, with a genuine interest in contributing to a technical team that spans engineering and software disciplines.
• Good communication skills, able to interact clearly with peers and, when needed, with customers.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment, comfortable navigating between engineering analysis and software development contexts.
• Spoken and written professional proficiency in English.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of Julia would be a strong asset; familiarity with MATLAB or C++ is also valued.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments (e.g. Docker, AWS), or UX/UI workflows is a plus.
• Experience with spacecraft maneuvering.
• Some exposure to technical proposals or space standards.

We Offer

• FULL-TIME CONTRACT of 40 hours per week.
• FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS allowing you to manage your schedule for better work-life balance.
• HYBRID WORK MODEL with the option to work remotely up to 10 days per month.
• EXTRA HOLIDAYS in addition to 23 vacation days, enjoy 6 additional days off during the Christmas period (from 24 December to 2 January, both included).
• PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE, fully covered by the company.
• LEARNING BUDGET of €1000 per year for training, courses, and professional growth.
• AUTONOMY AND RESPONSIBILITY where your contributions will directly shape our technology and success.
