Date: 9 hours ago
City: Longmont, CO
Contract type: Full time
Curious where the nation is going with Overhead Persistent Infrared?
Lockheed Martin’s Next Gen Geo (NGG) OPIR Mission Operations Support (NMOS) Team is an industry leader in infrared payload launch and satellite operations that maintains a deep, cohesive relationship with our launch and mission customers while developing a holistic understanding of the NGG Interim Operations (NIO) system and providing adaptive inter-organizational surge support. NMOS promotes the operational perspective across the NIO initiative while being the center of operational training. The NMOS Training Branch provides qualified Satellite Systems Crew Chiefs, Ground Control Operators, and Satellite Systems Operators who conduct tests, launches and early-on orbit testing of the NGG Space Vehicles.
The NMOS Team is looking for a Satellite Systems Crew Chief (SCCH).
The SCCH must be able to perform the Satellite Systems Operator (SSO) and Ground Control Operator (GCO) functions, after being trained. The SCCH oversees the SSO and GCO while performing satellite operations.
The SSO portion of the SCCH job will perform all commanding and State of Health (SOH) activities for one or more space assets and provide real-time evaluation of the satellite TT&C application while also being able to perform the following SSO functions: configure and monitor the TT&C application for proper monitoring of all satellites supporting the NGG mission; monitor the satellite telemetry for proper vehicle performance; evaluate TT&C alarms for possible anomalous conditions onboard the satellites and report any abnormal findings; perform all satellite commanding for daily operations as approved by the SCCH or Space Force customer; and coordinate with the GCO for the configuration of ground hardware for satellite commanding.
The GCO portion of the SCCH job provides the technical capability in the area of Ground Control (GC) and will configure and maintain the GC application while also being able to perform the following GCO functions: perform all ground system activities; conduct positional changeover; configure ground system assets to maintain mission operations; inform the SCCH of upcoming scheduled activities or maintenance; monitor ground software/hardware status; provide ground status to the appropriate operational team members; perform Fault Detection Fault Isolation (FDFI) recovery actions when required; provide real-time configuration changes to prohibit data interruptions; notify the SCCH of all ground system reconfigurations and problems; support playbacks for analysis; conduct Satellite Control Network and Relay Ground Station supports to collect satellite positional information; and, resolve real-time scheduling conflicts in coordination with the SCCH.
The SCCH will also be responsible for other assignments such as performing as the Team Lead, Satellite Systems Engineer (SSE), and developing and delivering the Changeover Briefing.
