Job summary

Spaceflux seeks a Network Operations Engineer to run a global sensor network and keep it healthy around the clock. You’ll be the second operator alongside our Network Operations Manager, monitoring across time zones and handling faults so data keeps flowing.

You’ll help build procedures, monitoring, and tooling for a sustainable on-call rhythm, with a clear path to grow into design responsibilities as the network scales.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience operating an always-on technical system.
• Comfortable troubleshooting PCs and connectivity issues.
• Ability to work across time zones with rotating shifts.
• Experience with incident response and run books.

Responsibilities

• Monitor the sensor network throughout the daily operational cycle and take part in a fair shared out-of-hours/weekend rota, ensuring telescopes and sensors are operating correctly and data continues to flow.
• Make sensible open/close calls in marginal weather to protect the hardware while maximising observing time.
• Diagnose and fix faults first-line - remote restarts, roof/dome recovery, connectivity and control-system issues - and pull in the right specialist when a problem needs hardware, software or logistics help.
• Coordinate with on-site teams and technical specialists around the world when remote recovery is not possible, providing clear diagnostics, instructions and follow-up until the sensor is operational again.
• Run incident response in our monitoring platform: spot it, log it, drive it to resolution or escalation cleanly, and keep a clear record.
• Step up to cover the daily operations rhythm - the morning check-in and the network status report - so the network is dependably supported.
• Help turn how we operate into written procedures and better tooling, so the whole team gets sharper over time.
