Job summary

Jobspage is seeking a CubeSat Operator to execute spacecraft operations across the mission lifecycle, including nominal constellation activities, anomaly response, and payload tasking. You will coordinate with ground segment assets and operate under high-stakes, real-time conditions in a demanding environment.

Candidates with drone/UAV operations, remote vehicle control, or other safety-critical operational experience are encouraged to apply.

Qualifications

• Experience in an operations-focused environment involving remote system monitoring/control, mission operations, UAV/drone operations, or other safety-critical operational roles.
• Demonstrated ability to operate systems under high-stakes, real-time conditions with strong procedural discipline.
• Experience interpreting telemetry and monitoring system health metrics.
• Ability to internalize operational manuals and understand platform-specific behaviors, idiosyncrasies, and limitations.
• Basic understanding of orbital mechanics concepts (orbital parameters, LEO operations, pass geometry, orbit types such as SSO and mid-inclination).
• Experience with telemetry, tracking, and control systems or analogous monitoring/control platforms.
• Willingness to work shift-based schedules, including LEOP, commissioning phases, anomaly response periods, and occasional weekend support.
• Strong analytical mindset with reluctance to ignore anomalous or unusual behavior without investigation.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate in team environments while operating independently when required.

Responsibilities

• Execute spacecraft commanding and monitoring activities to support nominal and contingency operations.
• Perform formation keeping, payload tasking, and routine constellation operations based on mission requirements.
• Monitor telemetry and spacecraft health metrics to ensure safe and stable operations.
• Execute emergency procedures and contingency responses to maintain spacecraft safety and mission continuity.
• Identify, triage, root cause, and elevate anomalies; support resolution and recovery workflows.
• Support mission lifecycle operations including launch integration, LEOP, commissioning, calibration, orbital maneuvers, and routine operations.
