We are global experts in satellite propulsion, pushing the boundaries of streamlined in-orbit mobility for the rapidly expanding satellite constellation industry. Our clients across the US, Europe, and Asia trust us to design and deliver high-performance, precision-engineered propulsion systems that push technological boundaries while meeting demanding timelines and budgets. We made history in 2019 and 2020 with the world’s first in-orbit demonstrations of iodine-fueled electric propulsion systems. Today, we are experiencing rapid growth, with over 300 systems ordered to date.\nAs aSpace Operations Engineer atThrustMe, your job is to help our customers get the most out of our propulsion system aboard their spacecraft. You are the detective reconstructing what is going on in space from telemetry and knowledge of the system, doing everything necessary to solve the case - be it improving performance or resolving in-orbit problems. You interface with satellite operators, but also with all the experts on the ground. The job ranges from working with telemetry directly from space, participating in and assisting with ground-based propulsion system tests in our laboratory facilities, to working on the software to manage and automating the telemetry analysis. The latter includes the deriving of statistical information from the telemetry. Furthermore, through your insight into the real-world performance of the system, you will also contribute to existing and new products at ThrustMe.\nMain tasks and responsibilities:\nMaintaining and developing our space telemetry data post-processing and analysis tools.\n\nInvestigating space telemetry, understanding any potential issues, proposing, and implementing solution on space hardware.\n\nIntegrating inputs from a broad range of sources (space data, ground experiments, theory, simulation, etc.) to improve the algorithms and models running the propulsion systems.\n\nSupport ongoing missions and assist with the satellite assembly and integration process, launch, commissioning, operation, and de-orbiting.\n\nWriting reports and technical documentation, both for internal and external use.\n\nSupporting propulsion system experiments both in space and on the ground.\n\nCollaborating with engineers and physicists in the development and industrialization of ground-breaking products.\n\nConducting performance analysis and generating operational recommendations.\n\nRequired skills and qualifications:\nMasters in embedded software, aerospace engineering, propulsion, physics, or similar.\n\nSolid experience and understanding of complex embedded systems, ideally with knowledge of fundamental engineering and space propulsion-related subjects.\n\nGood knowledge in data processing, data analytics, and modelling (Python or similar).\n\nKnowledge/experience in electronics.\n\nAbility to work autonomously and proactively.\n\nDemonstrable technical writing and reporting skills.\n\nCommunicate in English fluently.\n\n*We understand that no candidate is likely to meet every single requirement. If you’re excited about the opportunity and have most of the skills we're looking for, we encourage you to apply!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3271,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Satellite Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T15:57:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.101,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":563,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/-thrustme-space-operation-support-engineer-mf","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/-thrustme-space-operation-support-engineer-mf.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T21:55:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29495,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2553345},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2553345"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2F-thrustme-space-operation-support-engineer-mf"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2F-thrustme-space-operation-support-engineer-mf"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2F-thrustme-space-operation-support-engineer-mf"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/-thrustme-space-operation-support-engineer-mf\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2F-thrustme-space-operation-support-engineer-mf"}]}
