  • Connect flight software with testbeds and avionics systems
  • Use astrodynamics and flight mechanics to support mission design, novel orbital concepts, and trajectory optimization
  • Apply aerodynamics, atmospheric flight mechanics, and control principles to re-entry guidance, navigation, and flight-control functions
  • Develop powered and unpowered guidance laws and autonomy tools for orbital and atmospheric operations
  • Investigate operational anomalies, functional-test issues, and service incidents
  • Create concepts of operations, simulation deliverables, and test procedures
  • Help move designs quickly from prototype development through flight testing
  • Partner with systems engineering, avionics, test, and business development teams
  • Explain technical tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders
