  4. Perform and oversee specialized analyses: advanced coverage, communications link budgets, conjunction assessment and collision avoidance strategies, re-entry predictions, orbit determination, and attitude dynamics interactions.
  5. Define mission requirements related to trajectory and orbital performance; contribute to system architecture development and trade-offs.
  6. Develop novel analysis techniques and automate complex simulation workflows.
  7. Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers within the team.
  8. Prepare and present detailed technical reports, analysis results, and recommendations to internal teams, management, and external customers/stakeholders.

  4. Advanced programming proficiency and demonstrated experience developing analysis tools, models, or simulations in Python and MATLAB.
  5. In-depth theoretical and practical understanding of advanced orbital mechanics, perturbation theory, estimation techniques (orbit determination), and trajectory optimization methods (gradient-based, evolutionary).
  6. Proven ability to lead technical analyses, conduct complex trade studies, and solve challenging astrodynamics problems independently.
  7. Excellent analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
  8. Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. French language is considered favorably.

Complementary skills/knowledge:

  1. PhD in Aerospace Engineering or a closely related field with a focus on astrodynamics or orbital mechanics.
