Job Description

Job Description

• Design and develop ground control software for commanding and monitoring spacecraft during flight operations and ground tests.
• Own data infrastructure that ingests, stores, and serves high-rate telemetry and test data reliably and at scale.
• Build data visualization and analysis tools that give engineers real-time and post-test insight into system behavior.
• Develop telemetry pipelines that handle both live streaming data and large historical datasets, with disciplined attention to reliability and data integrity.
• Work with flight software and avionics engineers to define command and telemetry interfaces that minimize risk and simplify integration.
• Build tooling that accelerates data review, anomaly detection, and post-test reconstruction.
• Support real-time operations during tests and flights, including console roles as needed.
• Generate and maintain clear documentation for ground software systems and interfaces with disciplined revision control.
