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.
\n
Responsibilities:
- 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
- A background in Aerospace technologies and expertise in satellite operations
software systems and development
- Minimum 10 years experience in the development of satellite operations
products and management of operations of satellite subsystems would be an
asset
- Knowledge of satellite subsystem design and operation
- Knowledge of electronics, control systems and radio frequency communications
- Experience in developing software with a variety of platforms and programming
tools
- Strong analytical, problem solving, real-time decision-making, planning and
organizational skills
- Excellent verbal and written English communications skills
- Independent and self-motivated, with the ability to work effectively both
individually and in a team environment
- Knowledge of containerized software platforms is an asset
- Experience in C and Python programming is an asset
Decision Making and Supervision:
- Make decisions and recommendations governed by general policy.
Recommendations are reviewed for technical soundness or judgment but are
generally accepted as technically accurate
- Lead technical development decisions of operational components for first
generation Lightspeed satellites and future Lightspeed generation programs
- Manage development projects including collaboration with other operational
staff;
- Provide technical guidance to other satellite operations staff
