Working in our Chief Technology Office (CTO)
The CTO division is where Open Cosmos technology comes to life. Covering engineering, product development, and technical innovation, the team designs, builds, and operates the satellites, systems, and platforms that make our missions possible. It&rsquo;s a highly collaborative environment where ideas become real hardware, software, and data solutions that deliver impact from space.
Working in the Mission Operations Team
Working across the full mission lifecycle, the Mission Operations team is responsible for safely operating our satellites once they are in orbit. From launch and early operations through routine service and end-of-life, the team monitors spacecraft health, executes critical activities, and responds quickly to anything unexpected. Working closely with flight software, systems and engineering teams, Mission Operations plays a central role in keeping every Open Cosmos mission safe, reliable and delivering value to our customers.

Automation plays a critical role in how we operate satellites and test them at scale. As an Automation Engineer at Open Cosmos, you&rsquo;ll help build the tools and frameworks that make our mission operations more reliable and our production testing more efficient.
You&rsquo;ll be working on automation that supports the full mission lifecycle - from simulations and test campaigns on the ground to live spacecraft operations in orbit. You&rsquo;ll work closely with mission operations, production, and engineering teams to embed automation into real workflows that matter.
You will be:<ul><li>
Building and improving automation frameworks for mission operations and production testing</li><li>
Developing tools for automated data processing, trend analysis, and reporting</li><li>
Defining and applying best practices, standards, and documentation for automation systems</li><li>
Integrating automation into OpenSat, OpenApp, and OpenOPS platforms</li><li>
Providing technical support during automation rollout into operations and test environments</li><li>
Creating and supporting training materials for automation tools and workflows</li><li>
Taking part in reviews of system updates, mission control changes, and automation opportunities</li><li>
Supporting automated workflows during live missions and production test campaigns</li><li>
Developing automation for routine and time-critical flight operations</li><li>
Implementing automated procedures within the Mission Control System</li><li>
Improving monitoring, anomaly detection, and operational insight tools</li><li>
Building automation for functional testing and production workflows</li><li>
Developing tools for automated analysis of integration and test data</li><li>
Supporting test environment setup within the Mission Control System</li></ul>
What You&rsquo;ll Bring<ul><li>
A strong ability to design automation solutions for complex systems</li><li>
Solid programming skills using Python, Bash, or similar languages</li><li>
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and related tooling</li><li>
Knowledge of systems engineering principles</li><li>
Confidence working in Unix-based environments</li><li>
