Mission Analysis Engineer (mid-career) - Millennium Space Systems

Boeing Boeing · Aerospace · El Segundo, CA

Develops methods to simulate mission scenarios and assess end-to-end constellation capabilities; designs and implements image processing, inertial tracking, state estimation, and optimal control algorithms for sensor systems; and provides tools and modeling platforms for validating system performance during on-orbit mission operations.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build and maintain simulations for large satellite constellations to assess effectiveness against mission requirements
  2. Own the Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) image processing algorithms chain, from photon to Warfighter
  3. Create models for space vehicle payloads to use in system trades and performance predictions
  4. Develop novel algorithms, models, and data processing schemes for EO/IR sensing and tracking systems
  5. Concepts of Operation (CONOPS)/Design Reference Mission (DRM) development, modeling, and simulation
