Full Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Head of Satellite Telemetry (TT&C) to take ownership of the telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) architecture for a next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.

This is a senior technical leadership position responsible for defining the TT&C subsystem strategy across both the space and ground segments. You will lead the selection and integration of TT&C technologies, oversee the development of the ground network, and establish the operational processes used to monitor spacecraft health and support mission operations.

Working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, availability and long-term operational success of a cutting-edge satellite programme.

Key Responsibilities

As the technical authority for TT&C systems, you will:

Lead the selection, evaluation and technical management of the satellite TT&C subsystem vendor.
Design and deploy the S-band TT&C ground station network to support constellation operations.
Assess the use of shared ground infrastructure versus dedicated network deployments to optimise operational performance and cost.
Define the tools, processes and performance metrics used for on-orbit spacecraft monitoring.
Develop telemetry analytics, health monitoring and trend analysis capabilities across the operational fleet.
Lead anomaly detection, investigation and reporting activities, working closely with the Satellite Operations Centre.
Support system integration, operational readiness and long-term fleet performance.
Collaborate with spacecraft, RF, ground segment and mission operations teams to ensure seamless end-to-end system performance.

Required Experience

10+ years' experience in satellite TT&C engineering with ownership of spacecraft command and telemetry systems.
Strong working knowledge of CCSDS standards and S-band telemetry, tracking and command link design.
Experience designing and deploying TT&C ground networks supporting multiple spacecraft.
Proven experience working with spacecraft operations, telemetry analysis and anomaly resolution.
Strong understanding of spacecraft health monitoring, command systems and mission operations.
Experience managing technical suppliers and subsystem integration activities.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Postgraduate qualification in RF Engineering, Communications Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related discipline.

Desirable Experience

Experience supporting LEO or MEO satellite constellations.
Knowledge of satellite operations centres and fleet management processes.
Experience with spacecraft commissioning and on-orbit operations.
Familiarity with satellite ground infrastructure procurement and deployment.
Experience working on large-scale commercial or government satellite programmes.

Why Apply?

This is a unique opportunity to lead the design and implementation of a critical spacecraft subsystem within a next-generation satellite constellation. You'll work alongside an experienced international engineering team, influencing key architectural decisions from programme inception through to on-orbit operations, while helping shape the future of global satellite communications.
