National Security Space (NSS) Mission Analyst

**National Security Space (NSS) Orbital Analyst** **Company:** Omitron, Inc. **Location:** Schriever Space Force Base, CO, National Space Defense Center (NSDC) (on-site, secure facility) **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 an experienced Orbit Analyst to serve as a National Security Space (NSS) Mission Analyst for joint strategy under United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) and National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) that contributes to integrated space mission objectives for Commander, USSPACECOM and Director, NRO. As an NSS Orbital Analyst, you bring mature analytical judgment to the full range of operational orbital mechanics problems the mission presents. You will process orbit states and predictions, solve non-routine technical and operational problems in real time, and coordinate and integrate findings across multiple functional areas to develop and deliver products that inform customer decisions. Operating with a high degree of independence, you will apply seasoned expertise to the hardest problems on the floor and serve as a technical resource to less-experienced analysts. You also carry the responsibility to understand and implement the rigorous security policies inherent to the NSS mission area. The position combines rigorous orbital analysis with practical mission operations in an isolated, secure facility. Much of the specific mission function is not disclosed here for security reasons; day to day, the work is best understood as senior orbital analysis in direct support of a national-security space mission. # **Responsibilities** **As an NSS Orbital Analyst, you are accountable for:** **Orbital Analysis and Mission Operations** - Solve operational orbital mechanics problems and process orbit states and predictions in support of the NSDC Protect and Defend mission, applying seasoned analytical judgment to non-routine and time-sensitive events. - Apply orbit determination and maintenance techniques across general and special perturbation formats, including orbit decay and orbital maneuvers for station keeping and change of station. - Perform conjunction assessment, proximity operations analysis, and satellite collision avoidance in defense of national space assets. - Evaluate space surveillance sensors, networks, and observation data, applying a proficient understanding of their capabilities and limitations. **Integration, Coordination, and Products** - Coordinate and integrate relevant information and findings across multiple functional areas to develop and deliver products that enable customer situational awareness and decisions. - Support technical review of applicable government policies, plans, procedures, and documentation, and collaborate with other space operations centers and space acquisition offices. - Prepare and deliver clear analytical products, status, and findings to government operators and technical leadership. **On-Site Automation and Tool Support (Isolated Environment)** - Support the use, maintenance, and improvement of data processing systems and mission software tools; assist in identifying and…
