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.

As a member of the Mission Analysis Engineering Team you will contribute to modeling simulation and analysis for a program study or proposal. Mission Analysis Engineers dont just execute on ideas - they innovate creative solutions and novel designs to improve our products and solidify Millennium as an industry leader. You will develop methods to simulate mission scenarios and assess end-to-end constellation capabilities; design and deploy image processing inertial tracking state estimation and optimal control algorithms for sensor systems; and provide tools and modeling platforms for validating system performance during on-orbit mission operations. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with technical and program leadership to ensure that high-quality work products are delivered on time and that the proposed mission solution meets the customer need.
