This role blends mission operations engineering with software-driven automation, with a strong emphasis on scripting satellite procedures, developing operational tooling, and enabling scalable, reliable constellation operations. This position plays a critical role in shaping how the Satellite Operations Center (SOC) functions day-to-day and evolves over the lifetime of the constellation, providing operational insight into system design while actively building the automation and procedures used on orbit., + Develop and evolve mission operations processes and concepts of operations (ConOps) across all mission phases (LEOP, commissioning, routine operations).
- Perform trade studies on Satellite Operations Center (SOC) software tools and operational architectures.
- Support SOC system design, integration, and evolution with a focus on automation and scalability.
- Configure, operate, and troubleshoot SOC operations tools and environments.
- Develop, test, and validate satellite operations procedures, sequences of events, and command scripts used for on-orbit operations.
- Script and automate satellite command and control procedures using languages such as Python (and similar scripting languages).
- Develop telemetry validation logic and expected response checks to support both automated and manual operations.
- Modify and improve procedures based on on-orbit performance and lessons learned.
- Design, develop, and maintain custom mission operations tools and automation scripts.
- Develop tooling and lightweight applications to support on-orbit operations, monitoring, and analysis.
- Build or extend user interfaces, dashboards, or visualization tools that improve operator situational awareness.
- Interface with internal and external APIs to integrate mission operations workflows.
- Support system-level integration tests and end-to-end testing between the SOC and factory satellite.
- Participate in mission readiness activities including operations tests, simulations, rehearsals, and dry runs.
- Support mission operations during LEOP and other critical on-orbit activities, including possible periodic rotating shifts.
- Work closely with systems engineers, flight software, ground software, and external vendors to develop operational products.
- Support requirements development, architecture reviews, design reviews, readiness reviews, and program milestones.
- Provide mentoring and technical guidance to mission operations team members., This job description may not be inclusive to the duties and responsibilities listed.
