Job description

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.

Job Summary

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.

Position Responsibilities

• Build and maintain simulations for large satellite constellations to assess effectiveness against mission requirements
• Own the Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) image processing algorithms chain, from photon to Warfighter
• Create models for space vehicle payloads to use in system trades and performance predictions
• Develop novel algorithms, models, and data processing schemes for MW/MT, RPO, and SDA systems
• Architect the Concepts of Operation (CONOPS)/Design Reference Mission (DRM) and their associated simulations
• Collaborate with software and firmware teams to develop platforms for simulation deployment (eg. software/hardware-in-the-loop)
