About the role
We are looking for a Junior Sensor Network Operator to join our Sensor Network Operations team and support the day-to-day operation of Sybilla Technologies ' Global Sensor Network.
This is a hands-on operational role focused on ensuring that our sensors and robotic observatories operate reliably and that observation campaigns are executed on time and according to established standards.
You will monitor the health and operational status of the sensor network, execute routine and special observation campaigns, support troubleshooting and maintenance activities and assist with sensor deployments and commissioning.
You will also work with observation data and operational systems supporting activities such as launches, fragmentation events, payload separation, station keeping, manoeuvres, collision avoidance, satellite attitude monitoring and catalogue maintenance.
The role combines technical operations, observation execution and problem solving. It requires attention to detail, reliability and the ability to follow procedures while responding effectively when something does not work as expected.
As this is a junior position, you do not need to know everything from day one. You will receive dedicated onboarding and work closely with experienced specialists who will support your development in sensor operations, SSA/SDA and optical observation systems.
