In Sateliot we are looking for a Flight Dynamics and Spacecraft Operations Engineer, willing to face the challenges of a fast growing space telecom startup!
Ready to be part of the challenge?
Who we are
Sateliot is a Barcelona based Startup in the New Space sector, becoming the first satellite telecommunications operator that will provide global and continuous connectivity to all the elements that will make up the massive Internet of Things (IoT) universe under the 5G protocol.
In order to do so, Sateliot is launching a constellation of last generation nanosatellites at low altitudes that act as mobile towers. Sateliot is the perfect complement for large telecommunications companies by providing them with the necessary infrastructure where terrestrial technologies do not arrive.
Your mission
Sateliot is seeking a Flight Dynamics and Spacecraft Operations Engineer to lead the implementation of a flight dynamics strategy for orbital keeping and phasing within our growing satellite constellation. The role will be responsible for utilizing flight dynamics software and coordinating with a managed flight dynamics service provider. Additionally, the candidate will actively participate in satellite operations, requiring flexibility in balancing both flight dynamics tasks and operational responsibilities.
Your main functions
* Develop and implement an orbital keeping and phasing strategy using flight dynamics software.
* Coordinate with the managed flight dynamics service provider to optimize constellation operations.
* Conduct orbit determination, maneuver planning, and analyze orbital events such as conjunctions.
* Operate and monitor the satellite constellation, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with mission objectives.
* Coordinate with satellite and payload manufacturers for anomaly resolution.
* Contribute to operational improvements, including documentation and procedures for best practices.
Requirements
* Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Telecommunications, Physics, or related field.
* Experience in flight dynamics operations, orbital mechanics, or mission planning.
* Familiarity with flight dynamics software, such as GMV FocusSuite or similar tools.
* Experience in satellite operations, including telemetry analysis and anomaly resolution.
* Flexibility to adapt between flight dynamics and operational roles.
