Role Summary
The Payload Operations Lead owns day-to-day payload performance, mission execution, anomaly resolution, and operational optimization across the active satellite fleet. This role serves as the primary technical owner for payload behavior on orbit, ensuring high-quality collections, reliable tasking execution, and rapid troubleshooting of operational issues across payload hardware, calibration, and software interfaces.
This is a hybrid systems role requiring strong operational judgment, payload technical depth, and enough embedded systems understanding to diagnose hardware/software boundary issues without owning full spacecraft flight software development.
