Job Summary Autonomy Engineering is focused on design, analysis, and development of mission Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) from customer use cases and requirements, and enabling mission success through comprehensive on-board fault management and autonomy. Engineers in the group are integral throughout the entire program lifecycle. 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. They define the underlying architecture for fault detection, isolation, and response (FDIR), and own the development and validation of satellite/constellation specific fault configuration(s). They are the chief architects and implementers of satellite/constellation autonomy, ensuring mission level objectives are met and spacecraft health and safety are always maintained.
As an Autonomy Engineer on the Autonomy Team, you will be the Responsible Engineering Authority (REA) for all Autonomy for a program, study, or proposal. You will define fault & autonomy requirements; define states, modes, and transitions; define and develop the fault & autonomy architecture for satellites/constellations, including fault-tolerance and redundancy requirements; define and analyze thresholds and persistence of on-board fault tests; design fault responses to ensure containment of failed hardware and health and safety of on-orbit satellites; provide tools and procedures for use during on-orbit mission operations; and support on-console mission operations for on-orbit spacecraft as a mission specialist. In addition to execution of technical design, analysis, and operation, you may be responsible for project management activities to support programs, ensuring that high-quality work products are delivered on-time.
This position's internal job code is Systems Engineer. Our team is currently hiring for Levels 2-3.
Responsibilities
Perform fault and autonomy requirements definition, verification, and validation
Define satellite/constellation states, modes, transitions, and other autonomous spacecraft behaviors
Contribute to architecture concepts, CONOPS, and technology trade-off analyses
Design and validate onboard fault detection, isolation, and responses and perform end-to-end validation of autonomy products and behaviors
Support on-console operations for on-orbit missions
Minimum Qualifications
2+ years experience in satellite design and/or operation
Familiarity with common analysis tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Python, STK, etc.
Exceptional critical thinking skills and an ability to notice and debug problems with minimal guidance

Preferred Qualifications
5+ years experience in satellite design and/or operation
Experience with fault management strategies/architectures for safety of mission critical systems
Experience with autonomous system design and analysis
Ability to plan and execute integrated system fault management and autonomy V&V (validation and verification)
Experience with satellite end-to-end testing
Possess active TS/SCI clearance
Summary Pay-Range
Level 2: $87,550 - $128,750
Level 3: $104,550 - $153,750
