Job Description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence. Why this role is important:
  • As a Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer, you will develop and maintain in-house and commercial flight dynamics and mission analysis software tools, and apply them to design, analyze, and operate our satellite constellations. You will engage with E-Space Guidance Navigation and Controls, Software, and Operations engineers. This position will report to the Director of GNC and will be based in our Saratoga office.
  • What you will be doing:
  • Perform orbit determination
  • Generate required products (access, eclipse, TLE, etc)
  • Schedule resources for contacts
  • Flight safety (collision avoidance) decision and action analysis
  • Perform complex mission analysis and trade studies
  • Develop flight operations automation
  • Always looking to improve the flight dynamics process and engineer new innovative methods
  • What you bring to this role:
  • 5+ years of experience in space flight operations or astrodynamics software applications
  • 2+ years of software development experience in Python
  • Strong understanding of orbital mechanics, perturbations, navigation, and orbit propagation
  • Extra bonus points for the following:
  • Bachelors degree Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
  • We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
