Job Description

About the Role

As an Orbit Operations Engineer, you’ll own the on-orbit performance and daily operation of our spacecraft. From planning maneuvers and station-keeping burns, to analyzing telemetry and keeping an eye on subsystem health, you’ll keep our spacecraft on track and delivering mission objectives. You’ll also develop tools and procedures for ground operations, working closely with GNC, avionics, and software teams to ensure we maximize performance while maintaining safety margins.

Responsibilities

  • Plan and execute spacecraft maneuvers, station-keeping, and orbital adjustments
  • Monitor real-time telemetry and subsystem performance, identifying anomalies early
  • Develop operational procedures, flight rules, and ground-control scripts
  • Collaborate with GNC and ADCS teams to refine orbit control algorithms and reduce propellant usage
  • Coordinate ground station passes, data downlink, and command uplink schedules
  • Analyze post-mission data to continuously improve operational strategies

Ideal Qualifications

  • Prior experience in satellite mission operations or flight dynamics
  • Solid understanding of orbital mechanics, including maneuver planning and Δv budgeting
  • Proficiency with mission planning software (e.g., STK, GMAT) or custom in-house tools
  • Strong troubleshooting skills, especially under time-sensitive conditions
  • Excellent communication skills, enabling cross-functional collaboration and clear reporting
