Oversee integration between mission operations, network control, and wider ground segment infrastructure
Define and implement Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and conjunction assessment processes
Lead on-orbit commissioning activities, including spacecraft health checks, payload activation, inter-satellite link commissioning, and end-to-end operational verification
Develop and maintain redundancy, resilience, and disaster recovery strategies for mission-critical systems
Coordinate with external partners, suppliers, and operational stakeholders to ensure seamless delivery
Support transition planning towards fully scalable 24/7 constellation operations

Essential Skills & Experience

12+ years’ experience in satellite operations, mission operations, or spacecraft fleet management
Strong background in LEO constellation operations and on-orbit commissioning activities
Hands-on experience with mission control or mission management systems
Solid understanding of SSA/SDA workflows, conjunction assessment, and collision avoidance processes
Proven experience leading complex operational programmes across multidisciplinary engineering teams
Strong stakeholder management and decision-making skills in operational environments
Degree or postgraduate qualification in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline

Desirable Experience

Experience scaling operations for large or growing satellite constellations
Knowledge of ground segment integration, network operations, or telecoms infrastructure
Experience designing or operating high-availability systems and disaster recovery frameworks
Familiarity with international regulatory, safety, or operational frameworks in the space sector

What’s on Offer

Leadership role shaping operations for a next-generation satellite constellation programme
Significant ownership across mission operations, commissioning, and fleet management
Long-term career development within a rapidly scaling space organisation
Collaborative international environment working across engineering and operations teams
