Your mission
Join us in safeguarding the sustainability of space operations through advanced space situational awareness (SSA) technologies. As part of our team, you will develop cutting-edge collision avoidance algorithms, enhance space situational awareness , and innovate tools for satellite operators. Your expertise in data science and physics will help us detect, predict, and mitigate orbital risks, ensuring safe and sustainable space exploration.
OKAPI:Orbits already brings together a highly diverse team , and we actively continue to strengthen this diversity which allows us to achieve higher performance and drive innovation.
Your tasks and responsibilities
- You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of aerospace engineers, data scientists, and software developers to integrate and optimize third-party sensor data sources within our SSA platform . Your contributions will directly enhance the accuracy, automation, and scalability of our orbital risk management solutions.
- Integrate third-party data sources into our platform,



working closely with providers to seamlessly onboard their data.
- Develop, implement, and optimize high-precision algorithms for orbit propagation, orbit determination (OD) , sensor fusion, covariance modelling, and uncertainty quantification.
- Develop methods to fuse data from diverse sources into one common image of the space debris environment .
- Conduct validation and verification (V&V;) campaigns to benchmark and refine algorithmic performance against ground truth datasets.
- Work closely with software engineers to transition prototype algorithms into scalable, production-ready solutions.

Your profile
Must-have:
- M.Sc. or higher in Aerospace Engineering , Space Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field, or have prior work experience in the field of SSA/SST and related.
- A minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience is required. However, candidates with outstanding profiles may be cons
