About The Position

Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security, is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. The Mission Analysis Engineering team develops Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) from customer requirements; models and simulates satellites, constellations, and systems of systems; and designs and integrates mission data processing algorithms, such as EO/IR image processing and inertial tracking. The team validates mission concepts and predicted technical performance metrics, and leads end-to-end software integration, validation, and testing.

As a member of the team, the engineer contributes to modeling, simulation, and analysis for a program, study, or proposal. The role develops methods to simulate mission scenarios and assess end-to-end constellation capabilities; designs and deploys image-processing, inertial-tracking, state-estimation, and optimal-control algorithms for sensor systems; and provides tools and modeling platforms to validate system performance during on-orbit mission operations. The engineer works with technical and program leadership to deliver high-quality work on time and ensure proposed mission solutions meet customer needs.
