What is the role?

As a Mission Operations Engineer you will work closely with EnduroSat’s operations and engineering teams to prepare procedures and prepare automation for LEOPs and routine operations of different new spacecraft. The role focuses on the pre-launch procedures and preparation, including detailed design of the payload preparations, ground segment definition and validation, mission database management and configuration management, ground and spacecraft-run scripts writing, verification and validation. This extends both to individual spacecraft and entire constellation operations design.

Some of your daily tasks will include:

• Utilizing Python programming both onboard the spacecraft and on the ground
• Leveraging your experience with spacecraft operations and AIT procedures to oversee the final steps of detailed operations definition
• Participating in shifts during LEOP and initial commissioning before handing over to the regular Mission Operations Team
• Performing initial analysis and validation with Systems ToolKit prior to LEOP
• Executing orbit maneuvering, payload operations, and applying AOCS knowledge using Mission Operations software

What do we look for?

• Strong proficiency in Python programming
• Prior experience with spacecraft operations and familiarity with AIT procedures, and hardware fundamentals
• Ability to work on-site in a cleanroom environment to manage final operation definitions.
