Network Operations Engineer This is a future role. We're building a shortlist now and will contact you when it opens.About usFoundational is building the most precise picture of Earth and orbit, using lasers fired from the ground. We call it ground truth for orbit.We design and run low-cost, autonomous satellite laser ranging stations. They measure the distance to satellites with extreme precision, day and night. Our data platform turns those measurements into tracking data and orbit products for satellite operators, space agencies and governments. We also build our own flight-proven laser retroreflector arrays, so any satellite can be tracked.Our station network is expanding across Europe, South America, Africa and Australia. The data supports resilient navigation, Earth observation and the safe, sustainable use of space.We're a small, fast-moving team of engineers, scientists and operators in London. We're backed by venture investors and supported by ESA, the UK Space Agency, Innovate UK and the European Innovation Council.Position OverviewLondon · Full time · On-siteOur stations run autonomously, and you'll make sure the network does too. You'll monitor stations, respond to faults, and build the tools and processes for our network operations centre.What you'll doMonitor station health, tracking and data delivery across the networkTriage faults, and coordinate fixes with field engineers and host sitesBuild dashboards, alerting and runbooksTrack network performance and report it to the team and to customersHelp plan tracking schedules against customer commitmentsHelp shape on-call and shift cover as the network grows across time zonesWhat you'll bringOperations experience with ground stations, observatories, telecoms networks or similarScripting skills (Python, Bash) and Linux experienceExperience with monitoring tools such as Grafana or PrometheusClear communication under pressureNice to haveSatellite operations or satellite laser rangingNetworking and secure remo
