KLEO Connect GmbH is a startup looking to provide global satellite data communications services. The group is currently working with international partners to design a megaconstellation of small LEO satellites and cuttingedge user terminals and ground infrastructure. The system will deliver connectivity solutions with levels of performance, service and resilience that have been previously unmatched in the industry. KLEO has a growing team with offices in Berlin and Munich. We are looking to supplement our very talented team in Berlin with a Constellation and Satellite Navigation Systems Specialist wm The Constellation and Satellite Navigation Systems Specialist will hold a lead technical role within KLEO, involved primarily in advanced systems architecting and design of the constellation geometry and supporting infrastructure. The successful candidate will be responsible for systems engineering tasks to support the companys development of core Navigation Systems for the satellites and ground infrastructure to support operational activities. They will actively interface between other Engineering, Regulatory and Business Development teams, as well as, external international technical partners to ensure that the system design fulfills the companys service delivery objectives respectively. Main Responsibilities Lead mission and system requirement definition and RD activities for space and ground systems necessary for managing the Constellation geometry over the full lifecycle of the satellites Launch, Commissioning, Orbit Raising, Constellation phasing, Stationkeeping, Orbit Maintenance, Collision Avoidance, Decommissioning and Deorbiting. Develop concept of operations and orbit management processes for each phase of the mission Lead the review and procure of core navigation related systems such as advanced electric propulsion, GNSS, IMU, reaction wheel systems, etc. Procure or lead development of operational software for space situation awareness SSA and coordination of collision mitigation processes Use of advanced operational engineering tools for the development and testing of satellite navigation systems Manage interfaces and project tasks among KLEO engineers and partner organizations regarding the satellite and ground system design and build for demo satellites and for the main mission Conduct systems trades analysis balancing interdisciplinary technical trades with a customerdriven focus Breakdown projects into tasks that can be supported by junior engineers Mentor junior engineers in crossdisciplinary systems to provide added redundancy for team expertise Ground Segment Engineering Support development of operation systems equipment for orbit management Space Segment Engineering Define subsystem requirements and specifications for propulsion and ADCS Support change management processes as new customer requirements emerge Support RD activities for advanced electric propulsion concepts System modelling and validation Coordination with satellite prime manufacturers Operational planning Design and implementation of control systems, operational software, and toolkits to monitor and enhance operational efficiency Develop routine operations procedures and toolsets Develop scenarios for possible failure modes, determine likely anomalous behaviors and develop operational procedures to mitigate or minimize impact of operational anomalies Coordination with other satellite operators and government agencies for SSA and collision avoidance Provide operational support for the constellation management, performing routine orbit determination, collision monitoring, maneuver planning and anomaly support. Support development and implementation of test plans for customer demos Maintain awareness of technology trends and assist in the development of new products and services and be able to outline their architectural implementation and support trials Skills and Qualifications Require advanced degree in a related field i.e. Aerospace or Systems Engineering, with focus on orbit dynamics, ADCS and propulsion systems Minimum 5 7 years of experience in satellite systems engineering or operations, with reasonable proficiency in all key spacecraft and ground systems Strong practical knowledge of systems engineering practices Confidence in working directly with potential customers, suppliers and subcontractors Experience developing systems documentation, requirements definition, test plans and procedures, and operational procedures Ability to work independently and effectively, cocoordinating tasks and responsibilities Strong analytical and excellent organizational skills Excellent communications and interpersonal skills written and verbal Demonstrated leadership and managerial skills Fluency in English, other languages particularly German or Chinese considered an asset Willingness to travel overseas Desirable skills Practical experience in the commissioning and testing of satellite systems satellite and ground based Experience in constellation management Knowledge of constant lowthrust trajectory analysis Business awareness and acumen Advanced programmingsoftware engineering skills with good knowledge of MATLAB, Visual Basic, python and Java programming environments Our offer Challenging job with a high degree of responsibility and creativity Productive startup work environment with flat hierarchies and flexible working hours Attractive salary related to skills and experience, and a permanent position Modern work environment If you are interested in joining our team and being a part of innovating our incredible systems and services, please send us your full application with a cover letter specifically indicating your areas of interest.
