ABOUT FIREFLY AEROSPACE

Firefly Aerospace is a space and defense technology company on a mission to reliably and repeatedly launch, land, and operate space systems from Earth to the Moon and beyond. As the partner of choice for critical space missions, Firefly is the first commercial company to launch a satellite to orbit with 24-hour notice and the first company to achieve a successful Moon landing. Headquartered in north Austin, Texas, Firefly is looking for passionate, hardworking innovators to join our team and help fuel our successful trajectory into space.

SUMMARY

As a Flight Dynamics Engineer II at Firefly, you will apply your knowledge of orbital mechanics and spacecraft dynamics to plan trajectories, develop flight dynamics software tools, and support real-time spacecraft operations for missions spanning LEO and cislunar space. In this role, you will independently execute trajectory planning, state estimation, and maneuver design tasks while collaborating with cross-functional teams to model spacecraft dynamics, validate flight dynamics solutions, and contribute to the success of missions spanning Earth orbit, cislunar space, and the lunar surface. This position combines hands-on analysis and software development with operational support across the full spacecraft mission lifecycle.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Perform trajectory planning, state vector estimation, and maneuver design for operational spacecraft
Develop custom software tools and libraries to automate mission design and preparation workflows
Model high-fidelity spacecraft dynamics that include the effects of gravitational perturbations, atmospheric drag, solar radiation pressure, and other celestial bodies
Perform Monte Carlo simulations and error budgeting to assess mission robustness to dispersions in initial conditions, system performance, and environmental uncertainties
Interface with cross-discipline teams to provide accurate ephemerides, navigation solutions, and maneuver plans for mission planning and operations
Serve as a flight dynamics operator for spacecraft missions and perform maneuver reconstruction to improve spacecraft models
Build automated data processing pipelines and visualization tools to support real-time mission operations and post-flight analysis
Perform verification and validation of flight dynamics models and software against analytical solutions, benchmarks, flight data, and unit tests
Author technical documentation and analysis reports that communicate flight dynamics concepts and results to diverse audiences

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, physics, mathematics, or related field
2-5 years of experience in spacecraft flight dynamics
Strong understanding of orbital mechanics theory and applications
Understanding of spacecraft attitude dynamics and control
Knowledge of targeting and optimization methods, estimation theory, and uncertainty modeling techniques
Experience in software development and modeling/simulation for spaceflight applications
Working knowledge of Python and Linux
Understanding of software development best practices including version control (Git), code documentation, and testing
Experience with one or more commercial flight dynamics software tools (STK, GMAT, FreeFlyer, ODTK, or similar)
Strong communication and presentation skills

Desired

Master's degree in aerospace engineering, physics, mathematics, or related field
Experience across multiple flight dynamics disciplines, including trajectory design, maneuver planning, and orbit determination
Experience supporting operational spacecraft missions
Advanced Python programming skills
Experience with spacecraft trajectory design using STK
Exposure to JPL's MONTE software
Familiarity with CI/CD workflows and automated testing
Comprehensive knowledge of spacecraft subsystems and their impact on trajectory design and orbit determination accuracy

Firefly offers outstanding benefits for our employees, including generous health, dental and vision plans with low plan deductibles, parental leave, educational reimbursement, short term disability, and flexible PTO options.

To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
