BattleSpace Analyst (BSA)

**BattleSpace Analyst (BSA)** **Company:** Omitron, Inc. **Location:** Schriever Space Force Base, CO, National Space Defense Center (NSDC) (on-site, classified) **Reports to:** Schriever SFB Site Leadership Team (Operations Lead for mission tasking; Administrative Lead for administrative matters) # Position Overview Omitron helps keep space safe and navigable for the nation. We are the developer and sole maintainer of the Astrodynamics Support Workstation (ASW), the mission-critical software suite that serves as the algorithmic engine for high-accuracy spaceflight safety operations across the U.S. Government. ASW provides orbital analysis and conjunction assessment for Space Situational Awareness customers spanning DoD, the Department of Commerce, and NASA. At the National Space Defense Center (NSDC) on Schriever Space Force Base, CO, that mission runs around the clock in support of the joint Protect and Defend (P&D) mission. Analysts characterize the space battlespace, detect and assess threats to national space assets, and help preserve the nation's freedom of action in space. We are seeking a talented and motivated BattleSpace Analyst (BSA) to join our NSDC team at the heart of it, working alongside orbital analysts, engineers, and government operators to deliver the products that enable customer situational awareness and decision making. This role suits candidates ranging from early-career analysts to those with several years in the field. Working alongside senior analysts, engineers, and site leadership, you will monitor, analyze, and predict the behavior of space objects in an increasingly congested and contested space domain, and apply that analytical foundation in support of the NSDC's characterization and threat-assessment mission. You will develop proficiency with mission tools and processes, contribute to daily operations, and build the analytical and technical skills the work requires. The position combines rigorous orbital analysis with practical mission operations. Your work will directly support one of the DoD's core national-security space missions as it evolves to meet a growing and increasingly complex threat environment. # Responsibilities As a BattleSpace Analyst, you are accountable for: **Orbital Analysis and Data Evaluation** - Analyze and interpret orbital data from ground- and space-based sensors and owner/operator ephemeris sources under the direction of senior analysts. - Learn and apply orbit determination techniques to track and predict space object behavior using established mathematical models and tools. - Evaluate space surveillance sensors, networks, and observation data, developing an understanding of their capabilities and limitations. - Manage orbital and space science data, including non-regular data message formats, and help compile statistics on the current space object population. **Battlespace Characterization and Threat Assessment** - Support the operators executing the NSDC Protect and Defend mission, performing routine characterization and analysis tasks and escalating events of interest to senior team members. - Assist in coordinating and integrating relevant information and findings across multiple functional areas to develop and deliver products that enable customer situational awareness and decisions. - Support conjunction assessment, proximity operations analysis, and satellite collision avoidance in defense of national space assets. - Follow established mission processes and procedures, and help document them accurately as they are refined. **Software Tools and Process Support** - Support the use, maintenance, and improvement of data processing systems and software tools used in orbital analysis. - Build simple scripts and utilities in Python or similar languages to automate routine data processing and analysis tasks. - Assist in identifying and resolving system and data processing anomalies affecting mission operations, learning troubleshooting techniques from senior staff.…
