Role :

A Satellite Database Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining databases that support satellite integration, operations, telemetry processing, mission planning, and analytics. This role requires expertise in handling large-scale telemetry and command data, including Mission Information Base (MIB) formats, which are essential for defining telemetry and command dictionaries.

Tasks and Techical Skills :

Mission Information Base (MIB) Expertise :

  • Experience in handling, processing, and managing MIB format files for satellite telemetry and command definitions.
  • Understanding of MIB database structures for storing telemetry parameters, command definitions, and limits.
  • Ability to parse, validate, and integrate MIB files into satellite operations software.

Telemetry & Command Data Handling :

  • Experience with real-time and historical telemetry data processing.
  • Knowledge of CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) standards for telemetry and command data.
  • Familiarity with telemetry data encoding, compression, and error handling.

    • Data Modeling & Architecture :

  • Strong knowledge of relational and non-relational database design for space systems.
  • Ability to optimize database performance for high-volume satellite telemetry and command data.

    • Big Data & Analytics :

  • Experience handling large telemetry datasets from satellites and ground stations.

    • Cloud & Infrastructure :

  • Experience with cloud-based database solutions (AWS RDS, Azure Cosmos DB, Google BigQuery).
  • Familiarity with containerized database deployment (Docker, Kubernetes).

    • Programming & Scripting :

  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience
  • Experience working with MIB telemetry and command databases for satellite mission operations is highly preferred.
  • Familiarity with satellite telemetry ground systems (e.g., mission control software, or flight software integration).
  • Previous relevant experience in Satellite Database for LEO / MEO constellation for communication missions

    • Complementary skills / knowledge :

  • Understanding of the space environment, communication satellites, radio frequency (RF) equipment and the various solar cell & battery technologies
  • Ability to lead and / or mentor junior members of the engineering team
  • Problem-Solving & Analytical Thinking – Ability to troubleshoot and optimize MIB databases and telemetry processing systems.
  • Collaboration & Communication – Work with mission planners, aerospace engineers, and ground control teams to integrate database solutions.
  • Attention to Detail – Ensure data integrity, accuracy, and consistency across mission-critical satellite systems.
  • Demonstrated capability to efficiently work with little to no supervision
  • Strong written and verbal communications skills in English, knowledge of French will be considered favorably
