Remote Optical Spectroscopy information

What is remote optical spectroscopy?

Remote optical spectroscopy is a technique used to analyze the composition and properties of materials from a distance by measuring the interaction of light with those materials. This method is often used in fields such as environmental monitoring, astronomy, and industrial inspection, where it may not be practical or safe to collect samples directly. By observing how different wavelengths of light are absorbed, emitted, or scattered, scientists can identify substances and gather important data without physical contact. Remote optical spectroscopy typically employs devices such as spectrometers, which can be operated from afar using fiber optics, drones, or satellites. This technology enables rapid, non-invasive analysis over large or hard-to-reach areas.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote optical spectroscopy specialist?

To thrive as a Remote Optical Spectroscopy Specialist, you typically need a strong background in physics, chemistry, or engineering, with expertise in spectroscopic analysis and data interpretation. Familiarity with spectrometers, remote sensing technologies, data acquisition software, and sometimes certifications in laboratory safety or instrumentation is common. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and clear communication are essential soft skills for interpreting complex data and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These skills and qualifications are crucial for ensuring accurate measurements, reliable analysis, and effective project outcomes in scientific and industrial applications.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in remote optical spectroscopy roles, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in remote optical spectroscopy often encounter challenges such as instrument calibration from a distance, limited access to physical samples, and maintaining high data quality across distributed sites. To address these issues, remote spectroscopists typically rely on robust remote monitoring systems, standardized calibration protocols, and clear communication with on-site personnel. Collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams—including engineers, IT specialists, and field technicians—helps ensure smooth operation and data reliability, making teamwork and proactive problem-solving essential for success in this role.

Job description

About Aalyria:
Aalyria is a leading technology company that supplies laser communications technology and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms to the aerospace industry. With technology acquired from Google, Aalyria is at the forefront of innovation in satellite and airborne mesh networks, as well as cislunar and deep-space communications. We are revolutionizing the orchestration and management of planetary mesh networks using any radio or optical spectrum, any orbit, and any hardware across land, sea, air, and space.
Role Overview:
This isn't a "keep the lights on" SRE role. This is a strategic, high-impact opportunity to build the nervous system for a platform that transforms how networks of satellites, ground stations, and fleets are interconnected and orchestrated. You will be building the core observability stack that ensures the reliability of systems critical to the operation of satellite megaconstellations and missions to deep space.
This is a greenfield/brownfield opportunity. You will be a trusted expert, helping to define and implement the strategy and building the tools that empower our engineers. You will support the roadmap to mature our observability stack, moving from cloud-native tools to a robust, scalable, and insightful platform built on best-in-class technologies (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, etc.). If you are an SRE who thrives on platform-building challenges and wants to be relied upon to build a production-grade observability stack from the ground up, this role is for you.
Note: this role includes on-call responsibilities.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Help design and build Aalyria's centralized observability platform, integrating and scaling tools for metrics (e.g. Prometheus), logging (e.g. Loki), and distributed tracing (e.g. Tempo/OpenTelemetry).
  • Define, implement, and manage a robust framework of Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), and error budgets for our core products, ensuring we are launch-ready.
  • Partner with SWEs to implement observability best practices, develop standard templates and documentation, and configure tooling (e.g., OpenTelemetry libraries).
  • Automate the deployment, scaling, and management of the entire observability stack using Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) and GitOps principles (e.g. ArgoCD).
  • Partner closely with the core infrastructure team to ensure deep visibility into our Kubernetes clusters and underlying GCP and AWS environments.
  • Develop and lead the company's monitoring, alerting, and incident response strategy, driving a culture of proactive reliability and blameless post-mortems.

Required Qualifications:
  • Active Top Secret (TS/SCI) security clearance.
  • 4+ years of experience in an SRE or platform engineering role, with a focus on observability for large-scale, distributed compute or network systems.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise building, scaling, and managing observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Loki/ELK, OpenTelemetry, Tempo/Jaeger, Honeycomb, etc.). You have proven experience using these tools to support performance analysis and debugging of complex distributed systems.
  • Strong production-level experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Kubernetes.
  • Experience using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps principles (e.g., ArgoCD).
  • Proficiency in a systems programming language, with a strong preference for Go and Python for debugging and writing tooling.
  • Demonstrable experience defining, implementing, and managing SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for production services for high availability distributed systems.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience operating a multi-cloud environment, specifically GCP and AWS.
  • Hands-on experience with GitLab CI for CI/CD pipelines.
  • Working knowledge of service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd.
  • Familiarity with instrumenting applications written in Go and C++.
  • An active Secret clearance, or higher, is preferred for this position.
  • Experience with JVM observability (tuning, monitoring) for Java-based applications.

What We Offer:
  • Innovative Environment: Work at a cutting-edge company shaping the future of aerospace communications.
  • Impactful Work: Directly contribute to critical national security programs and initiatives.
  • Growth Opportunities: Expand your career with opportunities for professional development and advancement.
  • Inclusive Culture: Be part of a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive workplace where your contributions matter.
  • Flexibility: Flexible working arrangements including hybrid remote/in-office schedules.
  • Compensation and Equity: Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits (401(k), dental, vision, health, life insurance), paid time off, and equity options.

ITAR/EAR Requirements:
This position involves access to export-controlled information. To comply with U.S. government export regulations, applicants must meet one of the following criteria:
(A) Qualify as a U.S. person, which includes:
  • U.S. citizen or national
