Lead Satellite Telemetry (TT&C)
Location
India
Position Summary
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Satellite Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) professional to lead the design, procurement, deployment, and operational performance of TT&C systems supporting a next-generation satellite constellation.
This position owns the end-to-end TT&C capability across both the space and ground segments, including subsystem selection, ground network architecture, operational telemetry analytics, and on-orbit performance monitoring. The successful candidate will play a critical role in ensuring safe, reliable satellite operations and will act as the technical authority for fleet-wide anomaly detection and command & control performance.
Key Responsibilities
-
Lead the selection, evaluation and procurement of satellite TT&C subsystems.
-
Design, develop and deploy an S-band TT&C ground station network supporting a multi-satellite constellation.
-
Assess shared national TT&C infrastructure against dedicated network solutions, providing technical and commercial recommendations.
-
Define processes, tools and KPIs for monitoring partner-delivered on-orbit TT&C performance.
-
Develop telemetry analytics, health monitoring and trend analysis across the operational satellite fleet.
-
Lead anomaly detection, investigation and reporting, working closely with the Satellite Operations Centre.
-
Ensure robust command and control capability across all operational spacecraft.
-
Drive continuous improvements to TT&C operations, automation and system reliability.
Required Experience
-
10+ years' experience in satellite TT&C engineering with direct subsystem ownership.
-
Strong understanding of CCSDS standards and S-band command and control link design.
-
Proven experience designing and implementing TT&C ground networks supporting multiple satellites.
-
Experience managing satellite telemetry analysis, command operations and anomaly resolution.
-
Ability to work across spacecraft, ground systems and operational teams throughout the satellite lifecycle.
Preferred Experience
-
Knowledge of shared national TT&C operating models and infrastructure.
-
Experience supporting commercial or sovereign satellite constellations.
-
Exposure to satellite operations centres and mission operations environments.
Qualifications
-
Postgraduate degree in RF Engineering, Communications Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Candidate Profile
The successful candidate will be a technically hands-on systems engineer with deep expertise in TT&C architecture and satellite operations. They will combine strong engineering capability with the ability to lead complex technical programmes, influence suppliers and partners, and ensure reliable day-to-day operation of a growing satellite fleet.
