Job Description
Holt Executive are currently partnered with a global leader in Space Sustainability, a dynamic and rapidly growing technology and engineering innovator who are making hugely positive contributions to tackle the growing problem of space debris, making space and our orbits safer for future generations.
They require a Senior Mission Database Engineer to be responsible for leading the design, development, and optimization of the Satellite Reference Database (SRDB) for future missions.
In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining and enhancing the database infrastructure that stores and manages critical mission data. You will closely collaborate with various stakeholders, such as satellite operations, ground segment, flight software and other engineering teams, to further evolve the SRDB to efficiently support several key aspects such as Satellite development, testing, planning, management and operations.
This role will help the team make a difference every day, by ensuring the team is well placed to drive missions forward, helping to make space safer and more sustainable for future generations.
Responsibilities for the Senior Mission Database Engineer:
Database Architecture & Design: Lead the architecture and deployment of robust SRDB solutions, ensuring high availability, scalability, and reliability for mission-critical satellite data.
Support Software Engineers: Collaborate with and support software engineers in the development of SRDB solutions, providing expertise and guidance to ensure seamless integration and functionality.
Data Integration & Management: Oversee the automated ingestion process and management of satellite telemetry, telecommand, and related mission data in the SRDB as well as generation of output data products.
Mission Information Base Generation: Develop and manage processes for generating the Mission Information Base (MIB) from the SRDB that is compatible with the MCS (SCOS 2000).
Leadership & Mentorship: Build and lead a database engineering team, providing technical leadership, mentoring junior engineers, and ensuring alignment with project goals.
Automation & Innovation: Lead automation efforts to streamline the processing, ingestion, and analysis of satellite data, enhancing efficiency in database operations.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with Systems, Ground Segment, Flight Software, AIV and Operations teams to ensure that the SRDB supports all required mission data and functionality through all phases of the mission.
Verification & Validation: Implement processes to ensure data validity, tool validation, consistency and quality of SRDB content.
Documentation & Reporting: Maintain comprehensive documentation for SRDB systems, data processes, and tools.
Experience required by the Senior Mission Database Engineer:
Bachelor, master’s degree or PhD in computer science, aerospace engineering or relevant engineering / science discipline.
8+ years’ of spacecraft database engineering, or related field, previous experience within spacecraft operations/analysis would also be an advantage.
Proven experience with large-scale database systems and managing satellite or telemetry-related data.
Experience in generating mission-critical data outputs, such as a Mission Information Base.
Experience with industry standards, processes, protocols for spacecraft communications, such as CCSDS & PUS.
Solid understanding of satellite telemetry and telecommand packet structures (TM/TC) and its use of its systems controls e.g SCOS-2000.
Benefits
Opportunity to work with a highly talented, diverse & dynamic international team with cutting edge technology.
Flexible working around core hours in a friendly and supportive environment.
Hybrid working available (dependent on individual role requirements).
25 days holiday (increasing yearly up to a maximum of 28 days) + 8 days Bank Holiday.
Life insurance and long-term sick pay.
Private healthcare.
