Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle

that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

Our Future Projects team is dedicated to expanding and complementing these capabilities by conceptualizing and developing new

technologies, products and programs.

As a Future Systems Mission Analysis Engineer, you must have a firm grasp of orbital mechanics concepts and applications. You will

support early-phase studies of various spacecraft and mission concepts, including in-orbit services, lunar vehicles, and launch

systems, and will work all aspects of mission design: spacecraft and mission conceptual design, ConOps, orbit/trajectory analysis

and design, algorithm development, operations, and post-flight analysis.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

In your capacity as a Future Systems Mission Analysis Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your

duties will include to:

Mission Planning and Analysis: Own the mission design of The Exploration Company’s vehicles for a wide variety of spacecraft

and space missions to include LEO operations, Reentry, and Rendezvous and Docking focusing on In-Orbit Services, as well as

supporting Lunar missions.

Space Debris Mitigation: Own the Space Debris Mitigation requirements, and propose solutions to comply with the latest space

traffic sustainability standards.

Technical Budgets and Vehicle Design: Ownership of delta-V and propellant budgets, and support vehicle sizing.

Trajectory Design: Develop and optimize spacecraft trajectories for various mission phases, including launch, orbit transfer,

station-keeping, proximity operations and end-of-life disposal.

Simulation and Modeling: Create, utilize and maintain simulation models to predict and optimize spacecraft behavior and

performance under various scenarios.

Technical Documentation: Prepare, maintain and contribute to accurate technical documentation, including requirements

specification, mission analysis reports, operational procedures, as well as technical inputs to proposals.

Collaboration: Work closely with systems engineers, operations teams, and other stakeholders and perform multi-disciplinary

spacecraft systems trades to ensure mission objectives are met.

Risk Assessment: Identify and mitigate potential risks associated with on-orbit operations and propose contingency plans.

Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with the latest advancements in space technology and contribute to the continuous

improvement of mission analysis processes.

WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE FROM YOU

In the role of Future Systems Mission Analysis Engineer ideally, you will have the following:

Education: MSc. in Aerospace or related engineering discipline.

Experience: More than three years of experience in mission analysis, orbital mechanics, or a related discipline. Previous roles

should reflect hands-on experience with rendezvous and proximity operations.

Technical Skills: Strong understanding of classical dynamics, orbital and flight mechanics, including relative orbital motion,

and affinity with optimization problems and methodologies.

Programming Skills: Software development experience, ideally with C++ and Python.

Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to

non-technical stakeholders.

Feedback: Willingness to give proactive and mindful feedback across all company levels.

Mindset: Passion for advancing the commercial space industry and highly motivated to work in a fast-paced, autonomously driven,

and demanding start-up environment.

Languages: Fluent in English.
