Employment Type: Contract
Location Terms: Remote

We’re hiring a Flight Operations Systems Engineer to join an ambitious satellite systems program. You’ll help shape and execute the operational architecture for a next-generation satellite constellation — with hands-on involvement from concept to in-orbit validation.

This is an opportunity to be a key technical contributor in defining mission operations, developing procedures, and supporting satellite simulations and testing.

Your Mission:

  • Lead trade studies to design and simulate Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) strategies

  • Develop and validate spacecraft in-orbit operations procedures, including training and execution

  • Author and oversee the implementation of satellite operation manuals and test procedures

  • Build verification and validation matrices for commissioning, routine, and contingency operations

  • Support anomaly resolution and Failure Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR)

  • Operate satellite simulators and create supporting scripts

What You’ll Bring:

  • A bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical discipline

  • 10+ years of experience in satellite flight operations or related systems engineering roles

  • Strong background in LEO/MEO satellite systems and IOT execution

  • Experience designing and automating satellite operations

  • Systems engineering expertise spanning space and ground segment architecture, flight software, telemetry, and database operations

  • Familiarity with modeling and simulation software

  • Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages

  • Working knowledge of MATLAB and AGI’s Systems Tool Kit (STK)

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in constellation-level operations

  • Proven ability to design and test automated operational systems

  • Solid Excel skills for technical analysis

  • Familiarity with tools like DOORS, Windchill, or Jama

  • Independent, proactive work style

  • English fluency required; French language skills are a bonus
