Senior Orbital Analyst
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "Ready to Make a Difference? If you’re excited..."). We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract content and put into appropriate sections. We need to decide which sections to include based on actual content. We have: - Why Join Us? (list of bullet points). Could be "About the role" or maybe "Why Join Us?" but we must use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. "About the role" could contain the Position Overview and maybe Why Join Us? The "Why Join Us?" is more about company culture and reasons to join; could be part of About the role. "Responsibilities" corresponds to Key Responsibilities. "Requirements" could be Required Qualifications. "Qualifications" could be Desired Qualifications? Or maybe we combine Required and Desired under Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those headings as appropriate. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content. We have content for: - About the role: Position Overview + Why Join Us? (maybe also Ideal Candidate Profile?). Could be. - Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities. - Requirements: Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: Desired Qualifications (maybe also Ideal Candidate Profile? but that's more like a summary). Could put Ideal Candidate Profile under Qualifications or maybe under About the role? But we have limited headings; we could put Ideal Candidate Profile under Qualifications as well, but we need to avoid duplication. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we could extract skills from Required Qualifications (analytical, problem-solving, communication). However we should not invent sections if no explicit content. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" section; but we could include Skills if we can map content. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we skip Skills if not explicit. - Benefits: KBR Benefits section. - Pay: Basic Compensation and Additional Compensation. - Schedule: Working Hours (40 hours per week, 8am – 4.30 pm MST). Also maybe Travel? But schedule heading is for work hours. We also have Location, Clearance, Travel. Those could be folded into a short
under About the role or maybe as metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include Location, Clearance, Travel, Working Hours (though schedule is its own section). But we already have Schedule section for working hours; we could also include location and clearance in a short paragraph under About the role. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. **Why Join Us?** bullet points: - Advance the Future of Space Operations: Drive innovation at the intersection of military operations, commercial space capabilities, and emerging technologies that directly support national security missions. - Make Mission-Critical Impact: Lead efforts that shape training, experimentation, exercises, and operational readiness across the Space Enterprise and Combatant Commands. - Operate at the Cutting Edge: Integrate modeling and simulation, Space Domain Awareness (SDA), and Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking (TACSRT) capabilities to solve tomorrow's challenges today. - Work with Elite Teams: Collaborate with operators, engineers, and mission partners across government, industry, and defense organizations to deliver transformative capabilities. - Turn Vision into Capability: Influence how next-generation space systems are evaluated, adopted, and employed in real-world operations where success matters most. **Position Overview** paragraph: We are seeking an experienced Orbital Analyst to support Space Domain Awareness (SDA) missions and analytical activities across a range of operational and technical efforts. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, and SDA, along with the analytical judgement necessary to characterize satellite behavior and communicate mission-relevant findings. The Orbital Analyst will analyze historical and real-time space data, assess routine and anomalous satellite activity, and develop clear, defensible assessments to support operational and technical decision-making. The analyst may support government, commercial, and allied mission partners, including operational SDA environments such as the Joint Commercial Operations (JCO) construct, and will collaborate with KBR analysts, operators, customers, and software development personnel to improve analytical workflows, procedures, and products capabilities. **Key Responsibilities** (two sub-sections? Actually they have headings: Orbital Analysis and Space Domain Awareness, Mission and Customer Support, Problem-Solving and Innovation). We'll combine into a list. List items: - Apply orbital mechanics, astrodynamics, satellite state data, and perturbation concepts to analyze and characterize space object behavior. - Analyze historical and real-time data to identify maneuvers, patterns, trends, anomalous activity, and other mission-relevant events. - Evaluate orbital changes and satellite behavior to generate technical assessments, including appropriate consideration of data quality and uncertainty. - Communicate analytical findings through clear written products, visualizations, and technical discussions. - Collaborate with analysts, operators, government customers, commercial partners, and other mission stakeholders to address analytical needs and emerging events. - Translate complex orbital analysis into clear, actionable information for both technical and non-technical audiences. - Contribute to analytical procedures, workflows, training, and knowledge sharing to improve mission effectiveness. - Analyze historical and real-time satellite data to identify patterns and characterize satellite behavior. - Apply creative and "outside the box" thinking to hypothesize and identify potential new capabilities or interpretations of situations. - Collaborate directly with the software development team to provide analytical requirements and feedback for product refinement. Note there is some duplication: first bullet about analyzing historical and real-time data appears also later; but we should preserve all substantive information; we can keep duplicates if they appear, but maybe we can deduplicate? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't say to deduplicate; but duplicates are part of the posting; we could keep them. However to avoid redundancy, we could keep as is; but it's okay. **Required Qualifications** (list): - Active TS/SCI security clearance. - Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy, or a related STEM discipline, or equivalent relevant experience. - Demonstrated professional experience in orbital analysis, astrodynamics, SDA, space operations, or a closely related technical field, 6+ years. - Demonstrated ability to analyze complex data, identify relevant patterns or behaviors, and develop technically defensible conclusions. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to work effectively in time-sensitive operational environments. - Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively as part of a distributed technical and operational team. - Proven ability to brief senior military and government leaders. - Experience supporting operational software tools, visualization platforms, or mission applications. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills. **Desired Qualifications** (list): - Direct experience supporting DRAGON Army, JCO, SPACECOM, USSF, or Combatant Command missions. - Experience integrating commercial space capabilities into military operations. - Experience as a Product Owner, Operations Liaison, Exercise Planner, Mission Manager, or Operational Analyst. - Knowledge of Iron Stallion, SDCCS, Machina, Wide Area Vision, mission management platforms, or similar SDA tools. - Experience developing and presenting executive-level briefings and operational assessments. **Ideal Candidate Profile** paragraph: The ideal candidate resembles a senior SDA professional who has successfully combined orbital analysis, astrodynamics expertise, operational mission support, satellite behavior characterization, and customer-facing analytical leadership. This individual is comfortable operating across both technical and operational environments, can communicate effectively with analysts, operators, software developers, and senior decision-makers, and has a demonstrated history of translating complex orbital data into actionable mission insights that improve operational outcomes. This position is designed for a senior mission-focused professional capable of immediately supporting SDA operations, commercial and government mission partners, analytical workflow development, and the continued evolution of KBR’s operational space capabilities. The successful candidate brings technical rigor, intellectual curiosity, collaborative leadership, and the ability to deliver timely, defensible assessments in support of national security space missions. **Location**: Colorado Springs, CO (Hybrid Eligible) **Clearance**: Active TS/SCI Required **Travel**: Minimal **Working Hours**: 40 hours per week, 8am – 4.30 pm MST **Basic Compensation**: $140-$180K **Additional Compensation**: KBR may offer bonuses, commissions, or other forms of compensation to certain job titles or levels, per internal policy or contractual designation. Additional compensation may be in the form of sign on bonus, relocation benefits, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, or discretionary payments for exceptional performance. **KBR Benefits**: KBR offers a selection of competitive lifestyle benefits which could include 401K plan with company match, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, AD&D, flexible spending account, disability, paid time off, or flexible work schedule. We support career advancement through professional training and development. We also have a line: "The offered rate will be based on the selected candidate’s knowledge, skills, abilities and/or experience and in consideration of internal parity." That's part of Basic Compensation description. Now we need to map to headings. We'll create:
About the role
Why Join Us? ... (list) plus Position Overview paragraph plus maybe Ideal Candidate Profile? But Ideal Candidate Profile could be under Qualifications? However we have a separate Qualifications heading for Desired Qualifications. Ideal Candidate Profile is more narrative; could be placed under About the role as well. But we need to avoid too many sections; we can put Ideal Candidate Profile under About the role as a paragraph. We also need to include Location, Clearance, Travel maybe as a short p under About the role. But we also have Schedule section for Working Hours. Pay section for Basic Compensation and Additional Compensation. Benefits section for KBR Benefits. Responsibilities section for Key Responsibilities. Requirements section for Required Qualifications. Qualifications section for Desired Qualifications. We might also include Skills? Not needed. Now we need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. Let's craft HTML. We'll start with About the role:
