  • Collaborate with tool developers to implement functionality updates and payload software improvements.
  • Troubleshoot issues in coordination with SOC, Network Operations Center (NOC), and subsystem engineering teams.
  • Monitor and process payload subsystem telemetry to maintain state of health, including power, thermal, and RF performance.
  • Maintain situational awareness of satellite, payload, and ground segment configuration and status.
  • Operate SOC operations software tools and support development of automated operational tools.
  • Participate in daily shift handover briefings.
  • Support mission product development including procedure creation, testing, and validation.
  • Contribute to system readiness activities, planning, and preparation for satellite in‑orbit milestones.
  • Attend required training sessions, simulations, rehearsals, conferences, and program reviews.

  • Familiarity with version control software, preferably Git.
  • Experience with Atlassian tools such as Jira and Confluence.
  • Programming experience in at least one modern language (Java, Python, MATLAB, C, etc.).

Soft Skills

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across cross‑functional teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy of documentation, telemetry assessment, and operational deliverables.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in an environment with rapidly evolving system requirements.
