What is satellite telemetry control command?

Satellite Telemetry Control Command refers to the operations and systems used to monitor, control, and manage satellites remotely from Earth. This includes receiving data (telemetry) from satellites about their status and health, sending commands to adjust their functions or orbits, and ensuring they operate properly. Professionals in this field work with specialized software and hardware to maintain communication with satellites and respond to anomalies or mission requirements.

What skills and qualifications are needed for satellite telemetry control command?

To thrive in Satellite Telemetry Control Command, you need a strong background in electrical or aerospace engineering, satellite systems, and data analysis, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with ground control software, satellite communication protocols, and certification in space operations or related areas is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and the ability to work under pressure are crucial soft skills for monitoring and responding to real-time satellite data. These competencies are essential to ensure the safe, reliable operation of satellites and the accuracy of mission-critical data transmission.

What challenges do satellite telemetry control command professionals face and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in Satellite Telemetry Control Command often face challenges such as maintaining precise communication with satellites, troubleshooting real-time anomalies, and working within strict timeframes during satellite passes. These challenges require strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. Teamwork and effective communication with engineers and mission planners are essential to quickly resolve issues and ensure mission success. Continuous training and staying updated with the latest technology also help professionals address these challenges effectively.

Job description

Job Summary:
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their Ground Software team, responsible for building mission-critical software for satellite constellation operations and developing highly scalable backend systems using Python.
Responsibilities:
• Architect and scale a Python-based Ground Data System designing microservices that handle real-time command uplink, telemetry downlink, and event processing across a growing constellation
• Build binary protocol pipelines for CCSDS-compliant spacecraft communication, including TC/TM framing, CFDP file transfers, and AES encryption/decryption
• Own the messaging infrastructure to evaluate and optimize MQTT broker architecture, and quantify performance bottlenecks (MQTT throughput, QoS tuning, database writes, CPU-bound encoding/decoding)
• Build high-performance APIs for mission-critical command and control operations
• Create workflow orchestration systems for automated satellite and ground procedures
• Integrate with ground station networks and cloud infrastructure to develop scalable data ingestion and processing pipelines for high-rate satellite telemetry and command streams
• Establish software engineering and DevOps best practices including code reviews, testing standards, and architectural guidelines
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Flight Software, Payload, and Mission Operations Teams
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5+ years of backend software engineering experience building scalable, fault-tolerant systems for telemetry ingestion, command & control, or real-time data processing at scale
• Proficiency with microservices architecture, message queues, gRPC, and protobufs
• Expert Python skills with experience with modern frameworks (FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy), asynchronous programming (asyncio, threading), API development
• Knowledge of CCSDS protocols (TC, TM, CFDP) or willingness to learn space communication standards quickly
• Time-series databases (InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, or similar at high ingest rates)
• Kubernetes production experience (HPA, resource management, networking, debugging pods at scale)
• Experience designing and implementing event-driven architectures and workflow orchestration systems
• Solid understanding of AWS services, PostgreSQL, and container-based deployment solutions
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and modern software development practices
• Experience with message bus systems (Kafka, MQTT) and in-memory databases for real-time data processing
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/OpenTofu), monitoring/observability tools, and high-availability system design
• Experience with high-throughput data processing and performance optimization for mission-critical applications
• Strong system design skills with ability to make architectural decisions for scalable distributed systems
Preferred:
• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
• Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms
• Knowledge of time-series databases
• Background in satellite operations, mission control systems, aerospace, defense, or other mission-critical industries
• Grafana/observability stack for distributed systems monitoring
• Strong intellectual curiosity and commitment to continuous learning
• Exceptional attention to detail and an ownership mentality
Company:
E-Space is bridging Earth & space with the most sustainable LEO space system, delivering real-time, anywhere comms, IoT & Smart-IoT services Founded in 2021, the company is headquartered in Toulouse, FRA, with a team of 201-500 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
