Job Summary

Lead the technical execution and operational qualification of Elveo’s global ground station deployment program, translating the engineering-owned standard design into repeatable deployments across a global network of ground stations over the next two to three years. The program will deliver approximately 20 sites and more than 200 antennas across the globe, with multiple sites in active deployment at once. Own the cross-site implementation plan, teleport-provider technical coordination, deployment readiness, acceptance testing framework (factory, site, and operational site acceptance tests: FAT/SAT/OSAT), vendor delivery accountability, and operational handover.

Partner with Ground Station Systems Engineering, Ground Systems Software, Ground Site Operations, Mission Operations, Telecom, vendors, and external site partners to deliver multiple sites in parallel. Provide deployment-driven design input, resolve site-specific constraints, and ensure engineering packages are complete, coordinated, and approved before execution.

This is a senior individual contributor role within the Ground Station Engineering team that leads cross-functionally and directs contractors and field installation teams. Success requires technical authority, deployment ownership, ambiguity resolution, partner accountability, and timely escalation of decisions before they become schedule problems. The role should reduce deployment variability over time while preserving site-specific technical rigor.

Role Scope and Interfaces

Ground Station Systems Engineering owns the standard ground station design, technical requirements, RF and network design, Level 1/Level 2 procedures, and approval of design changes and deviations. This role owns deployment execution: the cross-site implementation plan; vendor technical accountability; site survey and civil works coordination; installation procedures and contractor work packages; the FAT/SAT/OSAT framework; readiness gates; and handover completeness, with authority to hold a site at a gate when required evidence is incomplete. Engineering approves the technical content of installation procedures and signs off technical conformity and deviations at acceptance.

The role directs field installation teams and contractors and travels for critical reviews, commissioning, and acceptance. Receiving operations teams assume responsibility for support at handover.

Once sites are in service, the role supports operations by coordinating physical field work. Engineering and operations diagnose issues; this role arranges the on-site fix, including teleport-provider or contractor dispatch, spares and RMAs, shipping and customs, and site access, and confirms the work is complete. Hands-on installation and maintenance labor, operations procedures, incident ownership, and management of GS engineers sit with other teams.

Core Responsibilities

Lead site evaluation, teleport engagement, and site surveys with engineering, operations, and qualified providers, balancing coverage, antenna placement, masking, RF interference, backhaul, infrastructure, cost, expansion capacity, and schedule. Track survey findings through design decisions and corrective actions.
