Space Domain Awareness Specialist
Shield Space is seeking a Space Domain Awareness Specialist to provide short-term astrodynamics and SDA expertise to our engineering team. This 3 month contractor role is ideal for someone with deep experience analysing orbital behaviour, interpreting SSA data, and understanding how satellites manoeuvre, interact, and deviate from expected patterns. Your insights will be used directly by our software and systems engineers to validate models, strengthen analytical assumptions, and ensure that the outputs we build reflect real-world orbital dynamics.
You will work closely with our technical leads, providing domain-expert interpretation of SDA and orbital data sources, advising on behaviour signatures, and helping the team build a robust analytical foundation for our next development cycle. This is a focused, high-impact engagement, where your expertise will meaningfully influence how our products mature in the coming months.
