Responsibilities

This role is part programmer, part software trainer, part cybersecurity advisor with a focus on the continuous operation of mission software through bug fixes, feature enhancements, and integrating IT cybersecurity vulnerability remediation

The primary functions of the software under your purview are preparing and sending commands to the satellite; receiving, displaying, processing, and moving satellite data; and scheduling and transitioning primary control of these functions among the redundant servers at multiple sites

When operational issues occur, you will use your broad knowledge of the software to lead the troubleshooting by coordinating tests with system and network administrators

When a custom software package is the root cause, either from a bug or operator error, you will design and implement code modifications to reduce or eliminate potential recurrence of the issue

Likewise, when cybersecurity vulnerabilities require updates or changes to the system/software configurations, you will be instrumental in assessing potential impacts to the ground system and coordinating the implementation, regression testing, and integration of the remediation

When users have difficulty with or finding inefficiencies in the functionality of the software, they will bring such complaints to you who might train the user in the usage or design and implement software or process changes to alleviate the issue
