Full Job Description
Tus tareas Kreios Space is building the next generation of satellite for Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). We are looking for a Satellite Operations Engineer to help define, prepare and execute mission operations for satellites flying closer to Earth than conventional platforms. In this role, you will contribute across the full operational lifecycle, from mission preparation and validation on ground to launch, early operations, commissioning and routine in-orbit activities. You will work hands-on with flight operations concepts, procedures, telemetry analysis and operational planning, while collaborating closely with systems, software and mission teams. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys turning complex mission concepts into safe, disciplined and scalable operations in a demanding technical environment. Tu perfil What you will do Own the definition, planning and execution of spacecraft operations for VLEO missions. Prepare operational concepts, timelines, procedures and command sequences for nominal and off-nominal scenarios. Contribute to launch, early operations and commissioning activities, including readiness preparation and anomaly response support. Monitor spacecraft telemetry and assess platform and payload health, performance and trends. Work with mission analysis and systems engineering teams to translate mission objectives into practical operational constraints and workflows. Collaborate with flight software and ground segment teams to validate operational tools, interfaces and automation scripts. Support simulation campaigns, integrated tests and mission rehearsals before flight. Develop contingency procedures, operational checklists and mission documentation. Contribute to the continuous improvement of operations processes, data review methods and console practices. Coordinate operational inputs with external partners when needed, including ground segment and mission support providers. What we are looking for Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerosp
