We are an Engineering and Product Development Center that conceives, develops, and productises new technologies, products and services towards a more sustainable society.

We work by bridging together cities, industry and universities around large programs of development and industrialisation of products and services, from Portugal, in high-tech sectors such as mobility, aeronautics and space.

This opportunity is for an Engineer | Space Flight Dynamics (m/f/d) to be integrated into the geoSystems team for the development of Ground Segment tools and analysis for Space Flight Dynamics and Mission Analysis.

• Integrate the geoSystems team in the development of the Ground Segment System for the Atlantic Constellation and MH-X satellites;
• Work with software development team in the development and implementation of orbital and space flight dynamics software for processing satellite data products;
• Implementation and simulation of complex attitude and propulsion maneuvers for the new missions;
• Explore, benchmark and select flight dynamics libraries (ESA EO-CFI, ESA GODOT and Orekit);
• Participate in the development and testing of standalone space flight dynamics and mission analysis tools in support of satellite design and commissioning activities;
