About the role
- The Satellite Operations Engineer at Lynk is a technical systems engineering position pivotal to ensuring the operational integrity and safety of the constellation of LEO satellites.
- This role works closely with the Principal Satellite Operations Systems Engineer, contributing to and executing against system-level investigations, operational strategies, and technical direction.
- Daily Telemetry Review: Conduct thorough daily reviews of satellite telemetry data and alarms to monitor the health and performance of the satellite constellation.
Responsibilities
- Anomaly Investigation: Independently drive anomaly investigations end-to-end, from initial detection through root cause, corrective action, and verification, while developing a deep understanding of system behavior and implementing durable, long-term solutions.
- Technical Trades: Engage in technical trades to optimize satellite operations, considering factors such as power consumption, communication bandwidth, and orbital dynamics.
- Concepts of Operations and Automation Development: Collaborate with stakeholders to develop and evaluate concepts of operations, and automations, aimed at maximizing the productivity and efficiency of the satellite constellation.
- Effectively document and communicate new and existing operational concepts and automations.
- Launch and Early Operations (LEOP): Provide technical oversight and support during satellite launch and early operations phases, ensuring smooth transitions into operational status.
- Data Analysis Tools and Operations Workflows: Define and drive improvements to data analysis tools, operational workflows, and telemetry interpretation methods to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
- Technical Data Review: Participate in daily technical data and telemetry alert reviews, perform and/or direct investigations, guide the implementation of in-orbit operations, and assess their effectiveness.
- For the in-orbit fleet, Identify and implement operational workarounds, automated Fault Detection and Recovery, and improvements to enhance satellite performance and reliability.
- For in development satellites, inform the design and test of improved on-board automation.
- Launch Support: Provide technical oversight for a multi-satellite LEOP, ensuring adherence to safety protocols, and methodical execution of in-orbit test procedures.
Requirements
- Individuals who do not meet these criteria must be eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
- Proven experience in satellite operations, telemetry analysis, and anomaly resolution.
