Mission Analysis & Technical Budgets Engineer
Join our team and build the furure of space technology
We´re expanding our team at Alén Space, and are looking for a Mission Analysis & Technical Budgets Engineer; with passion in what you do, talented and experienced; to join our Space Missions area. The selected candidate will be responsible for carrying out low-level mission analysis, including all related details. They will perform the necessary orbital analyses and technical budgets (power, delta-V, data, pointing) based on the mission objectives, as well as requirements traceability. They will also be responsible for implementing the CONOPS defined by Systems Engineering in STK and participating in the required thermal analyses.
What you will be doing?
1. Perform mission analysis tasks for small satellite missions (orbit selection, orbit propagation, coverage, access windows, ΔV requirements, station passes).- Develop and maintain technical budgets (power, delta-V, pointing, etc).
2. Support verification by analysis of mission-level requirements.
3. Conduct thermal analysis (desirable, not required).
Contribute to the development and evolution of internal mission analysis tools (Python-based).
4. Use STK to perform mission analysis and generate key performance indicators (KPIs).
5. Document results and contribute to technical reviews (PDR, CDR, etc.).
6. Interface with Systems Engineering and other teams to ensure coherence across mission performance budgets.
