About the Role

Reflex Aerospace is seeking a Flight Dynamics Engineer to design, analyze, and support spacecraft trajectories and guidance strategies, with a strong focus on rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) and formation flight. This role involves planning and validating relative motion, rendezvous, and close-approach maneuvers for on-orbit operations, collaborating with AOCS, software, and mission operations teams.

Responsibilities

Design and analyze orbital trajectories
Perform orbit determination, propagation, maneuver planning, and delta-V budgeting
Plan autonomous and ground-assisted proximity operations sequences and abort strategies
Plan and optimize routine operational activities
Develop and maintain flight dynamics analysis tools and simulations
Validate guidance concepts via Monte Carlo analysis and sensitivity studies
Develop autonomous closed loop orbit control algorithms
Support software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
Support launch and early orbit operations, commissioning, and on-orbit activities

Requirements

Degree in Space Engineering, Astrodynamics, Physics, or a related field
At least 3-5 years of relevant experience in the space industry
