As a member of the LEO SOC Satellite Operations team, the LEO Satellite Operations Engineering Specialist will provide technical leadership for engineering aspects related to development of the operations concepts, procedures and processes to ensure effective in-orbit operations of all on-board subsystems on the Lightspeed satellite bus, in order to maximize subsystem health, performance and commercial availability. This includes working, in collaboration, with others within the Satellite Operations team and other Lightspeed segments to improve efficiencies, through innovation, across all facets of in-orbit fleet operations. \nResponsibilities:
  • Works closely with the Lightspeed Space Segment team, support satellite operations products operations concept development with the satellite manufacturer;
  • Leads development of satellite operations concept of operations (CONOPS) for all phases of the Lightspeed mission; including LEOP, IOT, EOR, on-station operations and end-of-life deorbit;
  • Defines and develops satellite operational processes;
  • Works collaboratively with the satellite manufacturer; leading the development of satellite operations products within the procured Real Time System (RTS);
  • Supports Validation and Verification of Satellite Operations systems;
  • Oversee the creation, coding, modification and maintenance of satellite operating procedures
  • Leads the development of automation for routine and contingency operations and tracking of performance;
  • Informs the design and implementation of satellite data trending analysis of platform subsystems with a view to providing early detection of anomalous behaviors or trends; including SDP development;
  • Guides anomaly response and mitigation; ensuring that matters pertaining to satellite subsystem health and operation are properly addressed and resolved;
  • Provide technical assistance on maintenance of the satellite operations products and supporting trending and analysis tools.
Education and Experience:
  • Masters or Bachelor degree in an Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical or Computer Engineering, or the equivalent
