As a Ground System Operator II, you will participate in monitoring and controlling ground systems at one of the SDA Operations Centers. You will work 12-hour shifts with a team in a 24/7, multi-satellite operations environment. You will thrive in this role if you have a desire to learn and execute new technical skills and are highly motivated and passionate about engineering and space systems.

Assist in validating fixes and confirming system stability following recovery actions
Support real-time anomaly investigation and resolution and follow established Fault Escalation policies and procedures
Participate in deeper technical analysis of anomalies and contribute operational insight to factory teams
Support process improvement initiatives by properly documenting all events through an anomaly and issue reporting process
Create accurate, timely, and descriptive event logging for all ground system outages or system events
Participate in testing and evaluating new software releases, patches, and configuration changes prior to operational rollout
Execute operational test cases and provide structured feedback to developers and system engineers
Assist with rollout activities for new tools, capabilities, or ground system applications, including integration checks and post-deployment monitoring
Help develop and refine updated procedures, troubleshooting documentation, and operational best practices for newly introduced capabilities

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field OR equivalent relevant experience in a network operations or spacecraft operations environment in lieu of degree
2+ years of related engineering experience
Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly present information and ideas to others
Have confidence and be able to easily build meaningful relationships with your manager and members of your team
Must be able to prioritize your tasks, be self-aware enough to identify and correct your mistakes, and not be afraid to ask for help when needed
Be active in seeking out ways to improve yourself and gain new knowledge, and be enthusiastic in sharing knowledge with others
Interest or experience in technical troubleshooting, software testing, or scripting to support evolving operational tools is beneficial

Things That Would be Great if You Brought to the Table:

Proficiency in the LINUX operating system, as well as standard PC usage and applications
Familiarity with software development and programming skills
Exposure to system test environments, automation tools, or telemetry analysis techniques is a plus

We’ll also need you to:

Work 12-hour shifts
Be a U.S. citizen

Work Environment:

This position exclusively works onsite in a classified operations center; remote work is not available. The position is largely sedentary with the majority of the position sitting in a chair and working with a computer.
