Flight Dynamics Engineer

Flight Dynamics Engineer | Barcelona

EVONA have partnered with an exciting telecoms start-up, who are developing and launching a new satellite constellation.

They are looking for an AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Systems) and Flight Dynamics Engineer to join the spacecraft development team.

This role will be focused on designing, implementing, and maintaining the attitude and orbit control systems, as well as managing flight dynamics for satellite missions.

Responsibilities :

• Concept of Operations (ConOps) Design : Develop mission scenarios, operational modes, and attitude / orbit requirements.
• AOCS Design & Development : Architect and implement control algorithms for attitude and orbit control, including sensor fusion and actuator management.
• Propulsion System Integration : Define propulsion system requirements, assess performance, and support integration with the spacecraft.
• Dynamic Performance Analysis : Conduct simulations and analysis to validate spacecraft stability, maneuverability, and control accuracy.
• Flight Dynamics & Navigation : Develop orbit determination, maneuver planning, and station-keeping strategies.
• Software & Hardware Integration : Collaborate with software and avionics engineers to implement flight control software and validate performance through software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
• Autonomous Operations : Design and implement autonomous guidance and control strategies for fault recovery and mission optimization.
• Testing & Validation : Support AIV (Assembly, Integration, and Verification) campaigns, including hardware testing of sensors and actuators.
• Collaboration : Work closely with mission design, software, and hardware teams to ensure the spacecraft operates as intended.
