Check out this new opportunity! Mission Analysis Engineer Modeling & Simulation | EO-IR Systems On-site in El Segundo, CA $108,800 - $225,000/Yearly We are hiring a Mission Analysis Engineer – Modeling & Simulation / EO-IR Satellite Systems to support advanced space and defense programs involving satellite constellation analysis, Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) payload modeling, mission simulation, and mission performance assessment.

This role develops end-to-end mission analysis tools, modeling and simulation platforms, image processing algorithms, and state estimation solutions while supporting national security space missions, satellite operations, and next-generation aerospace systems.

Responsibilities

Serve as the Responsible Engineering Authority (REA) for mission modeling, simulation, and performance analysis supporting programs, studies, and proposals. Develop, maintain, and enhance high-fidelity simulations of large satellite constellations to evaluate mission effectiveness against customer and system requirements.

Design, develop, and optimize Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) image processing algorithms from photon collection through mission-level data exploitation. Build payload performance models to support system trades, design decisions, and mission performance predictions. Develop advanced algorithms for: EO/IR sensing Image processing Inertial tracking State estimation Optimal control Target tracking Create and maintain Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) using modeling and simulation tools.

Collaborate with software and firmware engineering teams to develop simulation environments, including software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platforms. Develop analytical tools used to validate spacecraft and constellation performance during on-orbit mission operations. Partner with technical and program leadership to ensure mission analysis products are delivered on schedule and meet customer performance objectives.

Support technical planning, proposal efforts, system trades, and mission architecture development.
