The CTO division is where Open Cosmos technology comes to life. Covering engineering, product development, and technical innovation, the team designs, builds, and operates the satellites, systems, and platforms that make our missions possible. It's a highly collaborative environment where ideas become real hardware, software, and data solutions that deliver impact from space.
As we scale our missions and operations, we're looking for an Automation Architect to define and shape the automation backbone that powers everything from mission control to production testing.
This is a high-impact, system-level role where you'll sit at the intersection of mission operations, ground software, and production systems — designing automation that is scalable, maintainable, and future-ready.
You'll be the technical authority for automation architecture across Open Cosmos space infrastructure — setting the direction, defining standards, and ensuring everything connects seamlessly. Define the automation architecture for mission operations, including pipelines, interfaces, and frameworks
Evaluate and integrate automation tools, technologies, and frameworks
Guide Automation Engineers on design decisions and implementation approaches
Collaborate with OpenOPS on Mission Control System automation capabilities
Partner with OpenSat and OpenApp teams to embed automation into product and platform design
Identify bottlenecks and continuously improve the automation ecosystem
Maintain clear architecture documentation and technical guidelines
The ability to design and build scalable, resilient automation systems and frameworks that support both mission operations and production environments
Confident with Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages to develop, integrate, and maintain automation across complex systems
Ability to work with distributed and event-driven systems, understanding how data and processes flow across mission-critical infrastructure
Think in systems, patterns, and long-term
