Flight Director

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

As a Flight Director, you will both lead and actively participate in the day-to-day operations of our spacecraft constellation. You’ll be hands-on with commanding, monitoring, and troubleshooting, while also providing leadership, direction, and decision-making authority for the operations team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and enjoys balancing strategic leadership with direct technical execution.

What you will be doing

• Perform spacecraft commanding, monitoring, and telemetry analysis.
• Develop, test, and execute command procedures for payload commissioning, software updates, and spacecraft reconfiguration.
• Investigate anomalies, propose workarounds, and implement fixes.
• Translate high-level goals into detailed execution plans.
• Coordinate across spacecraft engineering and payload teams to align priorities.
• Lead shift teams during critical operations or anomalies.
• Report anomalies, risks, and resolutions to leadership.
• Provide daily/weekly status updates to senior management.
• Represent operations in cross-functional discussions.

What you bring to this role

• Strong technical expertise in spacecraft operations, commanding, and telemetry analysis.
• Experience developing and executing operational procedures.
• Problem-solving skills to investigate anomalies and implement solutions.
• Ability to translate strategic objectives into detailed, actionable plans.
• Leadership skills to guide teams during critical operations.
• Clear, professional communication skills for reporting and cross-team alignment.
