About the Role:

We are looking for disciplined, detail-oriented Spacecraft Controllers /
Satellite Operations Engineers to support routine and critical operations for a
SAR satellite constellation from our Mission Control Centre in Ahmedabad
(India).

This is primarily a console operations role focused on protected and reliable
spacecraft operations, real-time monitoring, command execution, anomaly
escalation, and operational coordination across spacecraft, payload, and ground
systems.

You will work closely with:

* Mission Planning
* AOCS / Flight Dynamics
* Payload Operations
* Ground Segment / MCS teams
* Satellite Systems Engineering

The role is operationally demanding and suited for individuals who are
comfortable working in structured, high-responsibility environments with
rotating shifts and real-time decision support requirements.

* commissioning and LEOP support activities.
* Execute approved operational procedures and command sequences.
* Monitor spacecraft telemetry, subsystem health, payload status, and
operational timelines in real time.
* Maintain situational awareness across spacecraft, payload, and ground segment
status.

Anomaly Detection & Escalation

* Identify off-nominal spacecraft or payload behaviour and respond according to
operational procedures.
* Escalate anomalies to subsystem engineers, Flight Dynamics, Payload, or
Systems teams as required.
* Support safe spacecraft operations during contingencies and degraded modes.
* Participate in anomaly reviews, simulations, and rehearsals.

Mission Coordination requires close coordination with Mission Planning, Flight
Dynamics, Payload Operations, Ground Segment / MCS teams. Activitie
