Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!

At E-Space, we're focused on bridging Earth and space with the world's most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We're a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers-and we're disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost.

We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed-to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

Why this role is important :

  • As a Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer, you will develop and maintain in-house and commercial flight dynamics and mission analysis software tools, and apply them to design, analyze, and operate our satellite constellations. You will engage with E-Space Guidance Navigation and Controls, Software, and Operations engineers. This position will report to the Director of GNC and will be based in our Saratoga office.

What you will be doing :

  • Perform orbit determination
  • Generate required products (access, eclipse, TLE, etc)
  • Schedule resources for contacts
  • Flight safety (collision avoidance) decision and action analysis
  • Perform complex mission analysis and trade studies
  • Develop flight operations automation
  • Always looking to improve the flight dynamics process and engineer new innovative methods
  • What you bring to this role :

  • Bachelors degree Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
  • 5 years of experience in space flight operations or astrodynamics software applications
  • 2 years of software development experience in Python
  • Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, perturbations, navigation, and orbit propagation
  • 0 - $0 a year

    The estimated range is meant to reflect an anticipated salary range for the position in question, which is based on market data and other factors, all of which are subject to change. Individual pay is based on location, skills and expertise, depth of relevant experience, and other relevant factors. For questions about this, please speak to the recruiter if you decide to apply for the role and are selected for an interview.

    We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
