  • Support ground segment design and test, including command and control, mission data processing, and the associated infrastructure to support all activities.
  • Interface with ground station networks, spacecraft manufacturers, and payload development teams to ensure smooth coordination of mission activities.

  • Participate in formal Mission Rehearsal events to train the mission team and validate the mission design
  • Contribution to operational documentation (Flight Operational Handbook, Mission Operations Plan, Commissioning and Decommissioning Plans, etc.)

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in science and engineering-related programs.
  • Prior experience in space mission operations, satellite systems engineering, or AIT
