Job Description

Telesat is seeking a highly skilled Satellite Operations Systems Specialist to join our LEO SOC Systems team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for setting up and maintaining the control system for our advanced satellite constellation.

In this role, you will work closely with our architects and satellite engineers to understand the overall system architecture and design, and develop and maintain software products to support the satellite control systems. You will also have the opportunity to work with new technologies, learn about satellites and satellite control systems, and take the lead on containerized technology within the LEO SOC Systems team.

Main Responsibilities
  • Deploy and maintain the infrastructure (on-prem cloud/containers) which hosts the operations systems.
  • Develop, monitor and maintain the Lightspeed satellite control systems to be used in Telesat's advanced LEO constellation.
  • Participate in satisfying the system requirements for all elements of the satellite control systems including real-time command and telemetry processing, flight dynamics system, space situational awareness, data storage and analytics, ground encryption, constellation management and operations automation.
  • Develop and maintain software related to the operations systems.
  • Assist other satellite operations teams in their efforts to utilize the control systems and related tasks.
  • Participate in the procurement process of the satellite operations systems including acceptance testing, verification of requirements, and training.
  • Collaboration with the Lightspeed satellite engineering teams to ensure that satellite operations systems are sufficient to operate the Lightspeed constellation.
  • Develop mission operations procedures and processes for LEOP, Orbit Raising and In-Orbit validation and conduct appropriate training and rehearsals.
  • Develop and implement robust automation of operational processes to reduce the operational burden and ensure highly reliable operations of the satellites in the constellation.
  • Monitor and maintain the GEO satellite operations systems in use for the current GEO fleet operated by Telesat.
Education and Experience Required
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Science or Mathematics.
  • Proven experience with operational systems, with a minimum of 9 years in similar roles.
  • Experience with modern operating systems, programming languages and frameworks.
  • Experience with on-prem clusters and containerized systems.
  • Familiar with cybersecurity principles and best practices.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Fluent in English, both written and oral.
  • Occasional international travel may be required; therefore, candidates will need to provide proof that they have no national/international travel or visa restrictions.
  • Ability to obtain a NATO secret security clearance.
  • Willingness to provide off-hours support as part of a call-out rotation.
Decision Making and Supervision
  • Self-motivated.
  • In this role, the incumbent will issue recommendations and have influence on the Lightspeed system design by:
  • Evaluate solutions for operations systems.
  • Provide decisions backed by technical assessments.
  • Support operational plans, anomaly responses and direct critical responses as required.
  • Incumbent may be required to provide leadership to project teams and mentoring of junior staff.

The successful candidate must be able to work in Canada and obtain clearance under the Canadian Controlled Goods program (CGP) and NATO secret level clearance.
