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 architecture, designing solutions that are maintainable, extensible, and aligned to future mission needs An aptitude to guide others and help raise technical standards across the team, providing clarity on design decisions and promoting best practice in automation engineering To apply, you must have the legal right to work in your chosen location.
