Full job description

Aim high, go beyond!

At Open Cosmos we are solving the world’s biggest challenges from space, providing businesses, governments and researchers access to more readily available information than ever before - ready for the challenge? Then read on…

Working in our Chief Technology Office (CTO)

The CTO division is where Open Cosmos technology comes to life. Covering engineering, product development, and technical innovation, the team designs, builds, and operates the satellites, systems, and platforms that make our missions possible. It’s a highly collaborative environment where ideas become real hardware, software, and data solutions that deliver impact from space.

Working in the Mission Operations Team

Working across the full mission lifecycle, the Mission Operations team is responsible for safely operating our satellites once they are in orbit. From launch and early operations through routine service and end-of-life, the team monitors spacecraft health, executes critical activities, and responds quickly to anything unexpected. Working closely with flight software, systems and engineering teams, Mission Operations plays a central role in keeping every Open Cosmos mission safe, reliable and delivering value to our customers.

What You'll Be Doing

Automation plays a critical role in how we operate satellites and test them at scale. As an Automation Engineer at Open Cosmos, you’ll help build the tools and frameworks that make our mission operations more reliable and our production testing more efficient.

You’ll be working on automation that supports the full mission lifecycle - from simulations and test campaigns on the ground to live spacecraft operations in orbit. You’ll work closely with mission operations, production, and engineering teams to embed automation into real workflows that matter.

You will be:

Building and improving automation frameworks for mission operations and production testing
Developing tools for automated data processing, trend analysis, and reporting
Defining and applying best practices, standards, and documentation for automation systems
Integrating automation into OpenSat, OpenApp, and OpenOPS platforms
Providing technical support during automation rollout into operations and test environments
Creating and supporting training materials for automation tools and workflows
Taking part in reviews of system updates, mission control changes, and automation opportunities
Supporting automated workflows during live missions and production test campaigns
Developing automation for routine and time-critical flight operations
Implementing automated procedures within the Mission Control System
Improving monitoring, anomaly detection, and operational insight tools
Building automation for functional testing and production workflows
Developing tools for automated analysis of integration and test data
Supporting test environment setup within the Mission Control System

What You’ll Bring

A strong ability to design automation solutions for complex systems
Solid programming skills using Python, Bash, or similar languages
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and related tooling
Knowledge of systems engineering principles
Confidence working in Unix-based environments
Understanding of flight operations, telemetry, and spacecraft behaviour
Familiarity with mission control systems and ground segment concepts
Knowledge of test automation approaches and integration testing
Awareness of spacecraft subsystems and test campaign workflows

For this role you can be based in any of our locations.

To apply, you must have the legal right to work in your chosen location.

Please submit your application and CV in English.
