The Mission Operator is responsible for monitoring and supporting the safe operation of spacecraft throughout mission execution. This role performs spacecraft command and control activities, monitors spacecraft health and status, executes operational procedures, and responds to off-nominal conditions under the guidance of senior operators and mission leadership.

Working in a fast-paced mission operations environment, the Spacecraft Vehicle Operator collaborates with mission operations, flight software, systems engineering, spacecraft engineering, and ground systems teams to ensure successful spacecraft operations. This role supports routine mission activities, anomaly response, mission planning, and operational readiness while adhering to established operational procedures and mission requirements.

ESSENTIAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Monitor spacecraft health, telemetry, and subsystem performance during routine and contingency operations.
Execute spacecraft command sequences and operational procedures in accordance with approved mission plans.
Monitor spacecraft communications, command execution, and telemetry to ensure safe vehicle operations.
Support launch, early orbit operations, commissioning, routine mission operations, and end-of-life activities as assigned.
Document operational activities, system status, and mission events in accordance with established procedures.
Identify, document, and escalate spacecraft anomalies, unexpected behavior, or operational concerns.
Assist in executing contingency procedures and recovery activities under established operational guidelines.
Support anomaly investigations by collecting operational data and documenting mission events.
Coordinate with engineering and mission operations teams during troubleshooting activities.
Participate in mission simulations, rehearsals, and operational readiness exercises.
Support mission planning activities by reviewing operational timelines and command products.
Verify operational products, command sequences, and mission procedures prior to execution.
Collaborate with mission planning, systems engineering, and ground systems teams to ensure mission readiness.
Maintain accurate operational logs, reports, and mission documentation.
Support continuous improvement of operational procedures and mission execution processes.
Collaborate with mission operations, flight software, systems engineering, spacecraft engineering, and ground systems teams to support mission success.
Participate in shift handovers, operational briefings, and mission status reviews to ensure continuity of operations.
Support continuous improvement initiatives that enhance operational efficiency, mission reliability, and process effectiveness.
Perform additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.

JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Basic understanding of spacecraft operations, spacecraft subsystems, orbital mechanics, and mission operations principles.
Knowledge of telemetry, tracking, command, and spacecraft communications concepts.
Familiarity with mission planning, operational procedures, and anomaly response processes.
Ability to interpret technical procedures, telemetry data, and operational documentation.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and decision-making skills.
Excellent attention to detail and situational awareness.
Effective written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, mission-critical operations environment.
Experience with mission control software and associated operational tools.
Familiarity with ground control systems supporting spacecraft and mission operations.
Experience with Telemetry, Tracking, and Command (TT&C) systems.
Experience with mission planning, spacecraft operations, and related software tools.
Proficiency with Linux or UNIX operating systems preferred.
Experience with collaboration and knowledge management platforms such as Confluence, SharePoint, or equivalent.
