You'll be part of a team that serves as the connective tissue between our front-line satellite operators and our deep subsystem engineering teams: close enough to the mission to act decisively, and systems-broad enough to see the second-order effects across the spacecraft system and fleet as a whole.

You will get a chance to work with some incredibly smart and experienced people. No prior space experience is needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real systems, and be energized by technically demanding, high-stakes problems.

This role will contribute to both commercial and US Government programs.

Responsibilities:

• Own and develop satellite operations procedures, including commissioning, nominal operations, and contingency procedures, working closely with subsystem engineers
• Serve as a first-level technical escalation point above our satellite operators, leading the engineering response to anomalies and driving them to closure
• Participate in rotating on-call engineering support for our 24/7 mission operations center
• Support the development of on-board and ground-based autonomy
• Work with our ground software team as the user and requirements owner for tools that will help us operate our fleet of satellites
• Contribute to launch and commissioning campaigns for future missions, including ConOps development, rehearsal planning, and serving in on-console roles during the highest-stakes operations we execute
• Develop tools and processes to enable the Mission Operations team to maintain a high level of service uptime for our customer

Requirements:

• 0-2 years of total experience not including internships
• Experience scripting in any language - Python preferred
• Experience doing telemetry analysis and anomaly investigation
• Exposure to satellite or complex systems operations concepts
• Basic understanding of satellite subsystems (hardware and software)
• Highly motivated, self-starting, and able work autonomously
• A passion for working in a fast-paced environment with hands-on development and testing
• Strong cross-functional communicator: this role bridges operators, subsystem engineers, and software teams

Bonus:

• Experience building operational software tools
• Experience with software development tools such as Git and Jira
• Experience with FDIR concepts, ConOps development, and/or software testing
• Experience operating GEO satellites
