Sobre este puesto de Flight Operations Engineer en Espace

Espace · Saratoga, CA
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
 
At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
 
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

What you will be doing:

  • Operate spacecraft in real-time and scheduled commands, monitor telemetry and subsystem performance, and ensure system safety and mission success through continuous situational awareness and anomaly detection. 
  • Conduct deep-dive analysis of spacecraft telemetry to identify trends, diagnose off-nominal behavior, and support root-cause investigations of anomalies across all subsystems. 
  • Play a critical role in spacecraft integration and test campaigns including functional testing, Day-In-The-Life (DITL), and end-to-end mission rehearsals to ensure operational readiness. 
  • Develop and execute operational scripts and automation tools. Leverage Python and Bash scripting to build and maintain automation pipelines for telemetry analysis, command sequence validation, and alert generation.  
  • Contribute to the enhancement of ground software and data visualization dashboards. 
  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary engineering teams to develop and refine CONOPS (Concept of Operations), design test cases, verify procedures, and implement fault mitigation strategies. 
  • Participate in Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), simulate fault conditions, and conduct fault injection testing to validate spacecraft fault management logic and contingency responses. 
  • Communicate concise technical updates on spacecraft performance, testing progress, and anomalies to engineering teams, mission management, and stakeholders. 
  • What you bring to this role:

  • Hands-on experience in spacecraft operations, including functional testing, telemetry validation, and operational procedure development. 
  • Expertise in Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), fault injection, and validation of fault management logic. 
  • 2–4 years of experience developing automation tools and data pipelines (telemetry analysis, command validation, system monitoring) using Python. 
  • Proficiency in scripting languages for process automation, data parsing, and mission operations support. 
  • Exposure to high volume data processing systems, telemetry decoding, or real-time monitoring frameworks.
  • Strong documentation and communication skills to write clear procedures, technical reports, and deliver concise updates to cross-disciplinary teams. 
  • Demonstrated ability to maintain situational awareness, make data-driven decisions under pressure, and contribute to mission success in dynamic operational environments. 
  • Bonus points:

  • Prior spacecraft or satellite operations experience (LEO, GEO, or deep-space missions). 
  • Experience working in Linux environments, with familiarity in telemetry processing pipelines, command and telemetry database management, and real-time monitoring tools. 
  • Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD integration for operational tool deployment. 
  • Experience querying and managing data from SQL/NoSQL databases and telemetry filestores. 
  • Experience developing or maintaining automation frameworks or real-time alerting systems.
