## Description

As a Mission Analysis Engineer on the Mission Analysis Engineering Team, you will be the Responsible Engineering Authority (REA) for all modeling, simulation, and analysis for a program, study, or proposal. You will develop methods to simulate mission scenarios and assess end-to-end constellation capabilities; design and implement image processing, inertial tracking, state estimation, and optimal control algorithms for sensor systems; and provide tools and modeling platforms for validating system performance during on-orbit mission operations. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with technical and program leadership and will be responsible for program management activities, to ensure that high-quality work products are delivered on time and that the proposed mission solution meets the customer's need.

 * Build and maintain simulations for large satellite constellations to assess effectiveness against mission requirements
 * Own the Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) image processing algorithms chain, from photon to Warfighter
 * Create models for space vehicle payloads to use in system trades and performance predictions
 * Develop novel algorithms, models, and data processing schemes for EO/IR sensing and tracking systems
 * Concepts of Operation (CONOPS)/Design Reference Mission (DRM) development, modeling, and simulation
 * Collaborate with software and firmware teams to develop platforms for simulation deployment (eg. software/hardware-in-the-loop)
