  • Manage mission databases and data distribution
  • Integrate and test ground software with satellite, ground stations, and network infrastructure
  • Implement real-time data acquisition, processing, and visualization systems for satellite telemetry


Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, or related degrees.
  • 2+ years of experience with spacecraft, ground station, or other communication system operations
  • 2+ years of experience in software development encompassing both back-end and front-end development, as well as database management.
  • Demonstrated experience working in Python for backend services, scripting, and data processing
  • Experience with modern web frameworks such as Vue.js or React for building responsive UIs
  • Experience with networking protocols (UDP, TCP, etc)


Preferred Skills and Experience

  • Demonstrated experience working with time-series databases
  • Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes containerization and service orchestration systems.
  • Experience using Grafana and setting up Grafana dashboards
  • Familiarity with modern cloud providers, preferably AWS
  • Strong knowledge of satellite communication protocols, such as CCSDS
  • Familiarity with source code configuration management and version control concepts
  • Familiarity with database management and data visualization
