Original job description

Key Responsibilities

Act as editor-in-chief of the Satellite Operations Handbook: gather documentation and inputs from subsystem teams (power, thermal, AOCS, TT&C;, payload, FDIR, ground segment) and integrate them into one coherent, fluid text.

Interview subsystem engineers to close gaps, resolve ambiguities, and verify the technical accuracy of every section.

Rewrite engineering source material into clear, unambiguous, procedure-grade language suitable for use by operators in real-time operations.

Structure the handbook across the mission lifecycle: nominal operations, contingency and FDIR response, and subsystem reference sections.

Maintain revision and configuration control; organize and run formal review cycles with engineering and operations stakeholders.

Establish and enforce a style guide, templates, and terminology consistency across all contributors.

Required Qualifications

Proven long-form technical authorship - a PhD thesis, published research, or prior authorship of operations manuals, handbooks, flight rules, or procedures. (Per the hiring manager: "People who have written PhD theses would be ideal candidates.")

Working knowledge of satellites and space systems - able to read, understand, and interrogate subsystem engineering documentation.

Fast learner with a synthetic mind: able to compress many inconsistent sources into one clear narrative.

Excellent written English.

Preferred Qualifications

Background in satellite operations, spacecraft systems engineering, or mission analysis.

French language skills (Montreal-based team).

Familiarity with documentation and requirements tools (DOORS, Confluence) and ECSS/NASA documentation culture.

Experience authoring training materials or certifying operations personnel
