Flight Dynamics Operations Engineer

Summary

As a Flight Dynamics Operations Engineer, I support satellite operations across all mission phases, assisting with orbital maneuvers and maintaining constellation alignment. I collaborate with multiple teams to execute procedures, monitor performance, and respond to anomalies.

Launch & Pre-Launch Operations

• Prepare satellites for launch: maintain documentation, review parameters, conduct risk assessments, and ensure operational readiness.

  Operational Procedures Mission Coordination Anomaly Monitoring

• Coordinate launch and early orbit operations, track telemetry, confirm deployment, and respond to anomalies in real-time.

  Cross-Team Coordination Launch & Early Orbit Operations Reporting

Post-Launch & Constellation Operations

• Conduct post-deployment checks, monitor orbit and systems, support early maneuvers, and confirm operational readiness.

  Early Orbit Ops Orbit Monitoring Team Coordination Anomaly Handling

• Maintain constellation geometry, perform station-keeping maneuvers, and plan end-of-life disposal procedures.

  Orbit Maintenance Trajectory Planning End-of-Life Ops

Skills & Tools Learned

• Programming: Supporting operational and data tasks.
• Team Collaboration: Coordinating with multiple teams.
• Risk & Decision-Making: Informed operational choices in dynamic scenarios.
• Operational Oversight: Tracking mission progress and maintaining records.
