Job description

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.

With Pulsar - the world's most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit - Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.

We are seeking a Flight/Spacecraft Operator to own and lead day-to-day spacecraft operations for a growing constellation of satellites. This role is responsible for ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient mission execution across all phases of flight-from early on-orbit checkout through routine operations and anomaly resolution.

The role will help define operational concepts, lead flight ops actions, and act as the primary intermediary between the active spacecrafts and the system owners

  • Coordinate with other Operators shifts across different locations and time zones to efficiently organize and distribute tasks

  • Provide frequent updates on the state of the satellites to key stakeholders and raise any issues in a timely manner

  • Actively participate in mission readiness reviews, rehearsals, TVAC testing, and Day-In-The-Life (DITL) simulations

  • Prepared for on-call duties during any anomalies or special spacecraft operations

  • Assist with automating any mundane or repetitive tasks by providing any valuable domain knowledge or directly help with scripting

Required Skills/Qualifications

  • Previous experience with direct on-console control of satellites, aircrafts, drones, or other machinery

  • Strong understanding of TT&C/communications systems and partnering with Ground Station provider

  • Extended availability outside of normal working hours during anomalous situations or special circumstances for spacecraft ops

  • Excellent verbal & written communication skills to efficiently update the progress

  • Excellent documentation skills to routinely keep track of any critical events/actions across the ground and space stack

  • Some scripting knowledge with Python, Bash, etc.
