Job Description

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. 

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
