Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.
As a Flight Director, you will both lead and actively participate in the day-to-day operations of our spacecraft constellation. You’ll be hands-on with commanding, monitoring, and troubleshooting, while also providing leadership, direction, and decision-making authority for the operations team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and enjoys balancing strategic leadership with direct technical execution.
What you will be doing:
- Perform spacecraft commanding, monitoring, and telemetry analysis.
- Develop, test, and execute command procedures for payload commissioning, software updates, and spacecraft reconfiguration.
- Investigate anomalies, propose workarounds, and implement fixes.
- Translate high-level goals into detailed execution plans.
- Coordinate across spacecraft engineering and payload teams to align priorities.
- Lead shift teams during critical operations or anomalies.
- Report anomalies, risks, and resolutions to leadership.
- Provide daily/weekly status updates to senior management.
- Represent operations in cross-functional discussions.
What you bring to this role:
- Strong technical expertise in spacecraft operations, commanding, and telemetry analysis.
- Experience developing and executing operational procedures.
- Problem-solving skills to investigate anomalies and implement solutions.
- Ability to translate strategic objectives into detailed, actionable plans.
- Leadership skills to guide teams during critical operations.
- Clear, professional communication skills for reporting and cross-team alignment.
