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.
