We are looking for a Satellite Operations Engineer to help define, prepare and execute mission operations for satellites flying closer to Earth than conventional platforms. In this role, you will contribute across the full operational lifecycle, from mission preparation and validation on ground to launch, early operations, commissioning and routine in-orbit activities. You will work hands-on with flight operations concepts, procedures, telemetry analysis and operational planning, while collaborating closely with systems, software and mission teams. Own the definition, planning and execution of spacecraft operations for VLEO missions.
Contribute to launch, early operations and commissioning activities, including readiness preparation and anomaly response support.
Monitor spacecraft telemetry and assess platform and payload health, performance and trends.
Work with mission analysis and systems engineering teams to translate mission objectives into practical operational constraints and workflows.
Collaborate with flight software and ground segment teams to validate operational tools, interfaces and automation scripts.
Support simulation campaigns, integrated tests and mission rehearsals before flight.




Contribute to the continuous improvement of operations processes, data review methods and console practices.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Telecommunications, Electronics, Computer Science, Physics or a similar technical discipline.
Experience with Python, MATLAB or similar scripting and analysis tools.
Comfort working with multidisciplinary engineering teams in a fast-moving development context.
Clear written and verbal communication in English.
Experience with mission analysis or orbit simulation tools such as STK or equivalent.
Exposure to ground segment infrastructure, TT&C; systems or mission control environments.
Experience supporting launch and early orbit operations, commissioning or real-time console activities.
Familiarity with Earth observation or telecommunications mission concepts.
Understanding of the constraints associated with VLEO missions, such as atmospheric drag, lifetime management and highly iterative operational planning.
Experience with automation, data pipelines or internal tooling for operations teams.
