About the role

We are building software that tracks what moves in orbit and flags what matters. You will be working with orbit determination in the intersection between orbital mechanics, mission operations, and intelligence.

While you will touch upon many of our projects, your primary work will be to lead the technical work on our LSSA-Pilot project, developing the algorithms, data pipelines, and operational framing that make space situational awareness usable for non-engineers. You will work with our flight dynamicsists, who know the orbital mechanics. Your job is to translate sensor data into orbit knowledge and on to Space Situational Awareness. This role grows naturally toward technical leadership.

What you will work on

• Orbit determination, object tracking, and proximity analysis algorithms
• Integration of external space object catalogs and data sources
• Conjunction screening, collision avoidance computation, and launch safety analysis
• Defining CONOPS-level requirements: what operational users need to see, when, and why
• Collaboration with research and industry partners in the SSA domain

What we are looking for

Mid-to-senior candidate, 5–8 years of experience. Operational instinct comes from years in mission rooms; we need seniority here.

• Experience with how real missions are operated — not just the physics, but the process
• Background in controls engineering, preferably applied to orbital mechanics and flight dynamics
• Ability to bridge the gap between rigorous analysis and what decision-makers need to act on
• Strong programming skills in Python
• Understanding of orbit determination or propagation techniques
• MSc or PhD in control engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or equivalent

Useful but not required

• Experience with space object catalogs, TLE formats, or conjunction data messages
• Familiarity with CCSDS standards
• Interest in defense applications
• Background in mission control, flight operations, or CONOPS development

Requirements

• Fluent in English; Swedish is a plus
• EU or EES citizen
