Job description

Summary: Manage, monitor, and control LEO/MEO communication constellation satellites. 24/7 mission operations — telemetry analysis, command execution, anomaly troubleshooting. Key areas: satellite health monitoring, orbit maintenance, collision avoidance (conjunction analysis), ground station coordination, flight procedure development, scripting automation. Shift work in SOCC required.

Key requirements:

  • B.Sc. Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, or related | 10+ years LEO/MEO mission planning, on-orbit testing, and operations
  • Strong space systems engineering — orbit mechanics, space environment, RF telecom
