• Perform deployment studies for satellite constellations in Low-Earth Orbit (number of satellites, orbit characteristics, associated metrics, launch strategy, gradual entry into service, etc.);
• Tack charge of initial orbital mechanics studies for different types of constellations (SSA in LEO/GTO/GEO, IoT in low-Earth orbit, etc.);   
• Support for the various constellation system program managers (OneWeb, IRIS², ELO, CoS³, etc.) for orbital mechanics subjects;
• Flight dynamics studies on the needs for the current GEO fleet (fleet management, drift, end-of-life, space law, debris management, etc.) in collaboration with the Operations team.
• Provide Engineering Support in case of Fleet orbital anomalies.

 

 

What it Takes: 

• Engineering degree (BAC+5) or equivalent, specialising in space systems
• Solid skills in Flight Dynamics and Orbital Mechanics
• Good IT skills
• Ability to work in an agile, cross-functional team
• Ability to work in an international environment
