Senior Mission and Operations Satellite Systems Engineer

Summary

Join our System Engineering Department as a Senior Mission and Operations Satellite System Engineer and contribute to the analysis, planning, and definition of constellation operations ConOps. You will be responsible for preparing, testing, and executing operational procedures. This role involves trade-off studies for satellite LEOP plan design, development, and simulation, as well as the creation of spacecraft in-orbit operations procedures and manuals. You will also oversee the execution and associated training for these procedures. This position requires a strong understanding of satellite operations, including on-orbit commissioning, routine, and contingency operations. You will support In-Orbit Test (IOT), anomaly resolution, and FDIR, and contribute to the development of ICDs for both hardware and software/database. Additionally, you will support the Operations DevOps environment and tool-chain integration, ConOps Mission Design, Trade Space Analysis, Modeling and Automation, and Satellite Simulator Operation and script development.
