This role is responsible for developing, integrating, deploying, and maintaining the software systems that support Elveo’s ground station network and connect those systems into the broader Mission Operations Software environment. \rThis is a hands-on software engineering role focused on ground station software, network interfaces, automation, telemetry, monitoring and control, infrastructure as code, and operational reliability. The engineer will work closely (1) with Mission Operations, ground site engineering, telecom engineering, flight software, and external ground site partners to ensure Elveo’s ground stations can be operated reliably and scaled efficiently as the constellation grows. \rThe ideal candidate is comfortable working across software, Linux systems, networking, DevOps, telemetry, and operational infrastructure. This role is best suited for someone who enjoys building practical software that supports real-world mission operations. \rDesign, develop, and maintain software systems used to monitor, control, configure, and support Elveo ground station infrastructure. \rDevelop software interfaces between ground station equipment, network services, Mission Operations Software, and Mission Operations Center tools. \rSupport the deployment and integration of new and upgraded ground stations into Elveo’s operational environment. \rBuild maintainable software patterns that support repeatable ground station deployment, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. \rGround Station Network, Telemetry, and Operations Software \rDevelop and maintain software and infrastructure-as-code approaches for ground station systems and network-connected services. \rSupport integration with network equipment, modems, RF systems, monitoring systems, and other ground segment infrastructure. \rBuild and maintain tools for collection, processing, analysis, and visualization of satellite and ground system telemetry. \rTroubleshoot issues that span software, networks, hardware interfaces, and operational workflows. \rDevOps, Automation, and Reliability \rImplement DevOps practices for ground station software development, testing, deployment, configuration management, and release management. \rAutomate ground station software deployment, configuration, monitoring, and recovery processes where practical. \rImprove reliability through better observability, alerting, logging, metrics, documentation, and repeatable deployment practices. \rMaintain technical and operational documentation, including architecture diagrams, troubleshooting guides, deployment notes, and system health reporting. \rProvide occasional on-call or off-hours support when required for mission-critical operations. \rGround Station Software Proficiency: Develop a strong understanding of Elveo’s ground station architecture, software services, network interfaces, telemetry flows, and Mission Operations Software integration points. \rBecome a reliable technical point of contact for ground station software and network-related troubleshooting, anomaly investigation, and incident recovery. \rDeployment and Configuration Improvements: Improve the repeatability and reliability of ground station software deployment and configuration management. \rMonitoring and Observability: Deliver meaningful improvements to ground station monitoring, alerting, telemetry visualization, logging, and health reporting. \rPreferred Languages: Rust and Python \rFrontend: React \rInfrastructure & Deployment: AWS, Proxmox / on-prem environments, Terraform, Ansible, Packer, and GitLab CI/CD pipelines \rDevelopment Practices: AI-augmented development workflows, log-based diagnostics, infrastructure as code, Linux-centric development, and operationally focused software development for high-availability systems \rBachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. \rExperience developing, deploying, maintaining, or supporting software systems used in operational infrastructure environments. \rStrong working knowledge of Linux environments.
