Job Code: 35399
Job Location: Palm Bay, Florida

Job Description:
L3Harris Technologies is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Satellite Telemetry Analyst (TA) to support 24/7 satellite operations within the L3Harris Satellite Operations Center (SOC). This role is mission-critical and directly supports national security space programs through the development, execution, and sustainment of telemetry analysis and satellite command and control activities.

The selected candidate will be responsible for establishing and implementing the program’s Telemetry Analysis (TA) framework, including the initial development of analytical processes, procedures, and performance standards. This individual will train and mentor an internal cadre of Satellite Vehicle (SV) operations crews to ensure technical proficiency and operational readiness across all mission phases.

This position will also support 24/7 operations at a remote customer location during Launch and Early Operations (LEOP), ensuring safe and effective satellite activation prior to operational handover to the customer. Responsibilities include real-time satellite commanding, telemetry monitoring and analysis, anomaly identification and resolution, and execution of all associated satellite operational activities. The role requires sustained collaboration with engineering, mission assurance, and customer stakeholders to ensure mission success.

The successful candidate will operate in a dynamic, high-tempo operational environment and demonstrate strong analytical judgment, disciplined execution, and the ability to lead telemetry analysis efforts across mission lifecycle phases.

Essential Functions:
•    Perform expert-level Telemetry Analysis (TA) on Moog spacecraft bus systems, including real-time monitoring, anomaly identification, root cause assessment, and resolution recommendations.
•    Translate engineering documentation (e.g., Use Cases, Technical Memoranda, Bus User Guides, Interface Control Documents) into clear, executable operating procedures, training materials, and visual aids.
•    Analyze spacecraft performance trends, assess vehicle behavior, and communicate findings and recommended corrective actions to operations crews and external stakeholders.
•    Identify gaps in technical documentation, operational flows, timelines, and mission schedules; develop and implement corrective solutions.
•    Provide informed recommendations on spacecraft performance parameters, operational limitations, and risk mitigation strategies.
•    Execute Launch and Early Orbit Checkout (LEOP) activities and support 24/7 real-time satellite command and control operations.
•    Develop and refine checklists, procedures, and operational documentation for both satellite and ground system operations.
•    Participate in daily operations stand-ups, shift changeover briefings, and monthly in-progress reviews, providing actionable inputs and operational insights.
•    Conduct research and analysis on counterspace threats and associated system vulnerabilities to inform mission protection strategies.
•    Generate, share, and present technical briefings and analytical products to senior leadership and enterprise stakeholders.
•    Support onboarding, validation, and operational integration of new or enhanced tools and systems.
•    Operate effectively in a dynamic, high-tempo environment while demonstrating strong organization, self-motivation, and disciplined execution.

Qualifications:
•    Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 10 years of prior related experience.
•    Minimum of one (1) year of experience serving in an instructor or training role.
•    Minimum of one (1) year of direct Telemetry Analysis experience.
•    Minimum of two (2) years of satellite operations experience.
•    Active Top Secret (TS) clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) eligibility and CI Polygraph required.

Preferred Additional Skills:
•    Demonstrated strong leadership and interpersonal skills, with five (5) or more years of experience in a formal or informal leadership role.
•    Objective, analytical thinker with strong problem-solving abilities and a proven capacity to execute complex or challenging tasks through to completion.
