Senior Mission Operations Analysis Engineer, Space
Join to apply for the Senior Mission Operations Analysis Engineer, Space role at Anduril Industries. About The Team
Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. We’re developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested warfighting domain. About The Job
As a Senior Mission Operations Analysis Engineer, you will own the understanding and design of the mission solution which includes designing mission trajectories, building models to help craft mission solutions, and developing simulations to solve key mission needs. You will listen to stakeholder needs and then design rigorous math and physics analyses leading to clear and compelling value propositions. You will work closely with related teams, including Systems Engineering, GNC, Propulsion, Communications, Flight Software, Mission Operations, and others. You will lead physics-level modeling, mission design, constellation design, simulation and analysis for a wide variety of space missions. This role is directly tied to ongoing, funded programs within Anduril’s Space Business Line, involving building and fielding resilient, software-defined spacecraft systems across numerous mission threads. What You’ll Do
Develop model-driven analysis (and often the models themselves) Develop a deep understanding of transformational value of Anduril platform, autonomy, simulation, and perception products Use internal M&S capabilities to give analyses an asymmetric advantage over competitors Convey value through life of AI-powered distributed systems over traditional industrial offerings Provide rigorous analytical products to guide hardware engineering and convince stakeholders of our value advantage Required Qualifications
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance Space Mission MS&A experience — constellation design, space trajectory design, and physics-level modeling across a wide variety of space missions Spacecraft & Payload MS&A experience — physics-based trade-space analyses for propulsion, power, thermal management, and payloads such as RADAR, SATCOM, and/or EOIR Outstanding communication skills to include visual presentation of complex data Strong background in orbital mechanics and space environment Proficiency with physics-math scripting (e.g., MATLAB, SIMULINK, Python+numpy, scipy) Strong engineering background, preferably in Astrodynamics, Aerospace Engineering, Dynamics and Controls, or related field Preferred Qualifications
5+ years in a relevant Science/Engineering field Rendezvous Proximity Operations (RPO) Trajectory Design & Space Payloads experience Proficiency with physics-math scripting (MATLAB, SIMULINK, Python+numpy, scipy) Proficiency with STK and Astrogator Experience with genetic algorithms, machine learning, AI, and reinforcement learning algorithms Salary and Benefits
US Salary Range: $146,000—$194,000 USD. The salary range is an estimate based on compensation factors and may vary by experience, education, and/or training. Equity grants are included in many full-time offers as part of total compensation. Anduril offers comprehensive benefits packages for full-time employees. Additional Benefits
