Astrodynamics Engineer

Location:

Westminster, CO 80031

Employment Type:

Full-Time, Permanent

We are seeking an experienced Astrodynamics Engineer to serve as a technical authority for orbital mechanics across space domain awareness programs. This position will develop and validate physical models, synthetic datasets, orbit-estimation methods, and state-estimation capabilities supporting missions across low Earth orbit, geosynchronous Earth orbit, cislunar space, and other complex orbital regimes.

The Astrodynamics Engineer will generate synthetic datasets used to develop, train, validate, and evaluate machine-learning models. This individual will also review datasets and model results to identify modeling limitations, unrealistic assumptions, and potential failure modes before solutions are delivered for operational use.

This role will serve as a primary technical interface with university and research-institution partners supporting cislunar dynamical modeling, orbit determination, and multi-body dynamics research. Responsibilities include establishing technical interfaces, defining modeling conventions, developing validation cases, documenting requirements, and clarifying ownership across collaborative research efforts.
