Full Job Description
Autonomy Engineer (Mid Career) - Millennium Space Systems **Company:** Millennium Space Systems Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Our missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation. Our team is curious, bold and innovative. We take risks, innovate and explore new techniques and technologies. We influence change because we challenge the status quo. And when we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen. **Job Summary** Autonomy Engineering is focused on enabling mission success through comprehensive on-board fault management and autonomy. Engineers in the group are integral throughout the entire program lifecycle. They define the underlying architecture for fault detection, isolation, and response (FDIR), and own the development and validation of satellite/constellation specific fault configuration(s). They are the chief architects and implementers of satellite/constellation autonomy, ensuring mission level objectives are met and spacecraft health and safety are always maintained. They are key stakeholders in the design and validation of mission CONOPS and Design Reference Missions (DRM), and participate in comprehensive end-to-end software integration, validation, and testing. As a Lead/Senior Autonomy Engineer you will be the Autonomy responsible engineering authority (REA) for a program, study, or proposal. You will develop and decompose fault & autonomy requirements; define states, modes, and transitions; lead development of the fault & autonomy architecture for satellites/constellations, including fault-tolerance and redundancy requirements; define and analyze thresholds and persistence of on-board fault tests; design and test fault responses to ensure containment of failed hardware and health and safety of on-orbit satellites; provide tools and procedures for use during on-or
