**Working for Open Cosmos** Aim high, go beyond! At Open Cosmos we are solving the world’s biggest challenges from space, providing businesses, governments and researchers access to more readily available information than ever before \- ready for the challenge? Then read on… **Growth** **Team** The Growth team acts as the powerhouse of the company, ensuring the immediate needs of the customers are swiftly met and the future ones are translated into a product roadmap and deliverable projects. Each member of the team combines a mix of programmatic, system engineering, and commercial skills with specific strengths. **What will you be doing?** You will be leading, co\-ordinating and writing proposals to secure future space missions and technology development projects for Open Cosmos. Primarily, you are entrusted to define a mission concept that leads to a real project. That means interacting with internal teams (system engineering, project management, supply chain) and external stakeholders to shape the technical (space, ground and launch segments) and programmatic aspects of a mission concept. You’ll also be supporting the wider team by developing tools, analysis and processes to facilitate your primary work such as performing orbital analysis, system engineering trade\-off, cost estimations or schedule. **What you need to be successful** * **Understanding of space missions** \- A solid general understanding of space missions (e.g. remote sensing, telecommunication, orbital analysis, space system engineering trade\-off) is essential to the success of this role. * **Strong initiative \-** An interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, using your background in space engineering or physics to build high\-level solutions, translating needs into requirements. * **Great mathematical and analytical skills** \- you will have to solve varied problems like power, delta\-V or link budgets, answer questions like “how many satellites are needed to provide given coverage or revisit ?”,“what is the cross\-sectional area of a rotating object?” or gathering information from external sources (news, internal intelligence) to provide benchmark analysis or market sizing. * **Dealing with ambiguity** \- You will have to face uncertainties inherent to creating mission concepts, you’ll need to be resourceful and progress despite a level of uncertainty in needs or requirements. * **A strong communicator \-** You’ll be communicating a lot, so be confident in speaking, listening and writing, sometimes within large groups including customers * **A keen learner \-** You’ll be given the opportunity to learn from other teams on a variety of topics, exchanging with them to find the best solution for the whole mission concept, and ultimately project. **If you are a recent graduate, feel free to apply as we will consider candidates to work on an internship basis.** **When applying, please submit your CV in English.**
