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

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
