We combine advanced optical observation systems, data analytics, and automation to deliver solutions that contribute to the safety, security, and sustainability of space activities.\nJoining Sybilla Technologies means becoming part of a growing deep-tech company where engineering excellence, customer partnership and continuous innovation go hand in hand.\nAbout the role\n We are looking for an RSO Characterisation Engineer to join our Data Analytics and R&D team and support the development of advanced methods for analysing and characterising Resident Space Objects. This is not a traditional data analysis role.\nYou will work with complex observational data from sources such as photometry, spectrophotometry, polarimetry and radio frequency systems. Your work will contribute to anomaly detection, pattern-of-life analysis, attitude and behaviour monitoring, and the development of a comprehensive RSO characterisation data catalogue.\nYou will combine scientific research with practical operational delivery. This means developing new algorithms and analytical tools, validating data quality, supporting observing campaigns and translating research findings into capabilities that can be used in operational services for civilian and defence customers.\nThe role requires strong analytical thinking, scientific curiosity, technical execution and the ability to take ownership of complex analytical tasks.\nWhat you'll do\nAnalyse observational data from varied sources, including photometric, spectrophotometric, polarimetric and radio frequency data. \nConduct anomaly detection, pattern-of-life fingerprinting and monitoring studies for Resident Space Objects. \nSupport the development of a comprehensive RSO characterisation data catalogue. \nResearch and develop innovative techniques for determining the characteristics, states and behaviours of RSOs. \nDevelop and maintain analytical scripts and small software tools using Python, C, C++ or C#. \nDevelop algorithms and analytical methods that improve operational characterisation activities. \nSupport the development of machine-learning-enabled algorithms for space object data analysis. \nTake ownership of analytical tasks requiring scientific rigour, detailed investigation and research depth. \nCross-check data quality, identify anomalies and investigate edge cases. \nRun, understand, validate and adapt existing analytical tools. \nSupport the Data Delivery team by preparing analyses, intermediate results and technical inputs. \nSupport the design of observing campaigns with a focus on RSO characterisation. \nAssist with instrument-related analytical tasks, including geometry, pointing, observational constraints and system performance. \nContribute to the development of hardware and software solutions for civilian and defence customers, with a particular focus on SDA applications. \nSupport analytical activities related to launches, payload separation, fragmentation events, station keeping, manoeuvres, attitude monitoring, collision avoidance and catalogue maintenance. \nPrepare technical notes, analytical summaries, reports, recommendations and internal documentation. \nTranslate complex analytical findings into practical recommendations for operational teams and customers. \nIdentify opportunities to improve analytical processes, operational workflows and service quality. \nContribute to knowledge sharing across multidisciplinary teams and support the preparation of internal training materials. \nWork closely with engineers, data scientists, researchers, operational specialists, project managers and senior technical experts. \nParticipate in communication with project partners, service providers, satellite operators, agencies and other connected networks. \nSupport the investigation and resolution of customer and operational issues, including discussions concerning priorities, data needs and technical limitations. \nParticipate in on-duty operations and incident-response activities after completing the required training.\nWhat we're looking for\nRequired\nMaster’s degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Astrodynamics, Physics, Astronomy or another closely related STEM discipline, or equivalent professional experience in SST, SSA or SDA. \nSolid foundations in photometric analysis and the characterisation of Resident Space Objects. \nExperience using programming or scripting for scientific or technical data analysis. \nKnowledge of Python or C# is preferred, although experience with other programming languages may be transferable. \nAbility to run, understand, validate and adapt existing analytical tools and algorithms. \nExperience with computational techniques used for shape or attitude estimation. \nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills. \nAbility to investigate complex datasets, identify patterns and detect inconsistencies or anomalies. \nHigh attention to detail and a strong focus on the quality and correctness of analytical outputs. \nAbility to document technical work clearly and prepare structured analytical notes and reports. \nGood written and spoken English, including the ability to work with technical documentation. \nAbility to work independently and take ownership of technically complex analytical tasks. \nAbility to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary and international teams. \nAbility to balance scientific research and experimentation with operational deadlines and practical service-delivery requirements. \nNice to haveExperience processing polarimetric data related to Resident Space Objects. \nExperience analysing active or passive radio frequency data. \nBasic knowledge of artificial intelligence or machine learning applied to data analysis. \nExperience working in international technical teams or operational environments. \nExperience with telescope operations or telescope system design for RSO characterisation. \nExperience with optical observation systems or robotic observatories. \nKnowledge of Space Situational Awareness, Space Surveillance and Tracking or Space Domain Awareness services. \nExperience supporting mission-critical civilian, institutional or defence projects. \nExperience working with satellite operators, space agencies, service providers or research organisations. \nWhat we offer\n\nRemote-first work model, with occasional in-person meetings at our headquarters in Bydgoszcz. \nFull-time employment under an employment contract or B2B agreement. \nFlexible working hours. \nDedicated onboarding and mentorship. \nOpportunity to work with domain experts and international partners. \nAccess to conferences and professional development opportunities. \nCompany library. \nCompetitive compensation based on your experience and skills. \nAnticipated compensation\nThe compensation package will reflect your professional experience, qualifications and the anticipated seniority of the role. \nEuropean Union: EUR 4,000 - 5,000 gross per month (employment contract) or EUR 32 - 36 net per hour (B2B), with the employment model determined on a case-by-case basis
