Original job description
Summary: Manage, monitor, and control LEO/MEO communication constellation satellites. 24/7 mission operations - telemetry analysis, command execution, anomaly troubleshooting. Key areas: satellite health monitoring, orbit maintenance, collision avoidance (conjunction analysis), ground station coordination, flight procedure development, scripting automation. Shift work in SOCC required.
Key requirements:
- B.Sc. Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, or related | 10+ years LEO/MEO mission planning, on-orbit testing, and operations
- Strong space systems engineering - orbit mechanics, space environment, RF telecom
- Ground segment + space segment knowledge
- LEOP (Launch & Early Orbit Phase) experience
- Collision avoidance / conjunction analysis / ITU-FCC-ESA compliance
- GNC knowledge (collaborates with GNC team)
- Confluence + JIRA experience
- English required; French is an asset (Montreal)
This role is operations-focused, not pure RF. Look for candidates who have worked in mission operations centers (SOCC), managed satellite telemetry/commands, and have LEOP experience. RF background is helpful but not the primary filter.
