Descripción de la oferta
Aistech Space is focused on generating affordable, recurrent, high resolution thermal imagery of the planet to provide a new perspective of Earth’s changing resources. The company is based in Barcelona and aims to revolutionize remote sensing for environmental monitoring and resource management.
Our vision is focused on a key sentence: “See the Unseen, protect what matters most on Earth”
What you will do:
Aistech Space is looking for a Junior Satellite Operations Engineer to be part of the Ground Infrastructure Team in charge of operating the first satellites, Hydra-2 and Hydra-3, daily in its nominal state or recovering them from their safety states.
You will also contribute to the development and implementation of ground segment software related to Satellite Operations. The sw development will be focused on the SOMO and COSMO modules, which are crucial for determining the feasibility of satellite imaging opportunities and optimizing mission plans.
You will directly participate in the meetings with our payload and satellite platform teams to define, implement and test the future mission operations SW developed by Aistech from LEOP to nominal operations. You will also interact with 3rd party operations SW and implement them into the operational flows used at Aistech to operate the satellite missions. The cycle will finish with a lesson’s learnt study to apply to the next evolution of our satellites.
You will also be responsible to follow internal standards and good practices in terms of project management, documentation and time management following an agile approach in your daily work and ensuring the team is also doing it.
The daily tasks to be achieved in this position are:
Understand Aistech Space’s mission objectives.
Develop comprehensive understanding of our satellites and payloads.
Be the interface person for operations with our satellite platform supplier during the Hydra-2 (and others) from the development phase to launch, LEOP and nominal operations, producing any technical studies, testing reports, etc to ensure its success in space.
Prepare any technical documents to ensure the proposed performance of Hydra satellites in orbit: performing simulation tasks, technical budgeting, operational plans for imaging and delivery of imaging products.
Be part of the Ground Infrastructure team in all phases from: definition of requirements to design, implementation, integration, deployment, testing and maintenance once live.
Understanding Aistech’s cloud infrastructure.
Research of Open/Free SW tools, libraries, repositories, code for space infrastructure and mission planning, payload operations for ground infrastructure, TTC processing and visualization, etc
Keep the best communication between internal teams: space, remote sensing and infrastructure teams aligned with business development.
Write articles regarding different areas of interest to be published in our Aistech News magazine and on our website blog.
Actively engage in the development of documentation to build out the company procedures and specification manuals.
Who you are:
Must:
BSc/MSc in Aerospace, Computer Science, Telecommunications or relevant degree.
Open minded and extrovert, active learner and tolerant to criticism.
Knowledge of payload technologies and satellite subsystems: power, comms, AOCS, propulsion, EO payloads, etc.
Knowledge of optical payloads, satellite performance budgeting and ground sw.
Knowledge of thermal design of a payload or satellite system.
Knowledge of Google Earth Engine and/or Cloud infrastructure.
Experience in Linux systems.
Working knowledge of Agile methodologies.
Nice to have:
Experience in STK, GMAT, MATLAB/SIMULINK or similar simulation SW packages.
Knowledge of open geospatial application standards and formats (e.g. OGC's WMS, WMTS, API, etc. as well as STAC, COG, etc.).
Knowledge of containerized applications (e.g., Docker).
Where you will be:
You will be working on-site in the headquarters offices of Sant Cugat in Barcelona.
