ABOUT THE TEAMAnduril's Space team is expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners.We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested war-fighting domain.ABOUT THE JOBRendezvous and proximity operations are where spacecraft operations stop being a checklist and start being a craft. You own that craft at Anduril. As a Spacecraft Operations Systems Engineer for RPO, you own how our spacecraft plan, rehearse, and fly close to other objects.You'll do this work well before launch. RPO campaigns are won in AI&T, on the flatsat, and in the rehearsals, not just on-console. You'll validate procedures against hardware-in-the-loop testbeds, build and run day-in-the-life and contingency sims, and push ops constraints back into the GNC, flight software, and ground software designs while those designs can still change. This role is directly tied to ongoing programs within Anduril's Space Business Line. We work with mission partners and customers to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally-relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DoD and IC.For Colorado based applicants, please note this will be a remote role expected to be filled out of the state of Colorado.WHAT YOU'LL DODesign and own RPO mission plans: relative motion design, approach and hold-point sequencing, delta-V budgets, and the timeline that ties them to comm passes, lighting, and ground contactBuild passive safety into every approach, so that a missed burn, a dropped pass, or an off-nominal state doesn't put the vehicle on a collision trajectoryAuthor the flight rules and procedures that govern close approach: keep-out volume enforcement, go/no-go gates, abort and breakout criteria, custody handoffs, and conjunction screening against both the target and third partiesOwn the mission operations plans and procedures for spacecraft programs across all phases, including LEOP, commissioning, on-orbit checkout, and operationsDrive the pre-launch campaign from the ops side: write and run day-in-the-life and mission rehearsals, inject the failures, and turn every finding into a procedure change or a design changeWork with AI&T as the operations voice, validating procedures and command sequences on flatsats and hardware-in-the-loop testbeds before they touch flight hardwareFeed operational constraints back into GNC, flight software, ground software, and comms designCreate and analyze the metrics used to debug and monitor vehicle and campaign performanceTriage anomalies, root cause failures, and coordinate next steps under time pressureTrain operators and mission crews on Anduril spacecraft and on RPO execution specificallySupport demanding schedules during ground testing, launch windows, and on-orbit operationsWork with other teams and government agencies to obtain required licenses (FCC, NOAA) and comply with regulations for operating spacecraft, including proximity operations coordinationREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONSEligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearanceStrong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in Aerospace Engineering, Astrodynamics, Computer Science, or another engineering field4+ years of professional spacecraft operations, mission planning, or flight dynamics experienceDirect RPO experience on a flown or near-flight mission, on either the planning or execution side: relative orbit design, proximity operations trajectory planning, maneuver planning and reconstruction, or close-approach execution on consoleExperience taking a spacecraft through pre-launch operational readiness: AI&T support, procedure validation, mission rehearsals, day-in-the-life testing, and operational readiness reviewsAbility to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and detailed requirementsCapable of solving complex technical problems with little oversightClear written communication, including procedures, flight rules, and training materialPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONSExperience on on-orbit servicing, inspection, docking, or refueling missionsExperience with autonomous or onboard relative navigation, including vision-based or optical relative navFlight dynamics depth: orbit determination, maneuver calibration, and maneuver reconstructionExperience with conjunction assessment and space traffic coordinationExperience operating government, DoD, or IC spacecraftExperience with STK/Astrogator, ODTK, MATLAB, or SimulinkExperience with Python and Linux systemsExperience with testing and validation on flatsats and hardware-in-the-loop testbedsExposure to ground station operations and providersA desire to work on critical software in the space domainUS Salary Range$126,000 - $167,000 USDThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
