About the role

The Aerospace Corporation seeks an Engineering Specialist/Senior Engineering Specialist to join the EMFDD team, providing flight mechanics expertise for a range of national space missions. You will work on trajectory design, optimization, and performance analysis for missiles, space systems, and reentry vehicles. Ideal candidates have extensive experience in astrodynamics and a strong background in algorithm development, software tools, and collaboration with government and contractor teams.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
