Summary
T2S Solutions is We are seeking multiple Software Developers to design, build and maintain advanced ground operations scheduling software that coordinates spacecraft payload tasking, spacecraft pass planning, and deconfliction across multiple satellite constellations operating at different orbital altitudes. This role is critical to ensuring safe, efficient, and interference-free operations across shared RF spectrum, ground stations, and payload resources. The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex, constraint-heavy scheduling problems that directly impact real-world satellite operations.
Key Responsibilities
Develop payload scheduling systems that generate executable timelines based on mission priorities, payload modes, resource constraints, and customer tasking
Implement spacecraft pass scheduling for uplink/downlink contacts, coordinating ground station availability and network resources
Design and implement deconfliction logic to prevent RF interference, resource contention, and operational conflicts across:
Multiple satellites and constellations
Different orbital regimes
Shared ground stations, frequencies, antennas, and time windows
Build constraint-based and rules-driven scheduling algorithms that account for spectrum usage, pointing conflicts, timing margins, regulatory constraints, and operational safety rules
Integrate scheduling outputs with payload C2 systems, command generation pipelines, and mission operations tools via well-defined APIs
Collaborate with RF engineers, systems engineers, payload teams, and operations staff to model interference risks and operational constraints accurately
Support simulation, what-if analysis, and rehearsal environments to validate schedules and deconfliction logic before execution
Improve scheduling automation, scalability, robustness, and explainability as system complexity and mission tempo increase
Maintain clear documentation of scheduling assumptions, constraints, deconfliction rules, and interfaces
Required Qualifications
Associates or Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience) and 3–8 years of professional software development experience
Strong proficiency in Python, Java, C++, Go, or similar backend languages
Experience developing backend services, APIs, and data-driven systems
Understanding of scheduling, planning, or optimization problems in complex environments
Strong analytical mindset and ability to reason about competing constraints and edge cases
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with satellite mission planning, payload scheduling, or ground operations software
Familiarity with RF interference considerations, spectrum management, or ground station coordination
Experience scheduling multi-satellite or multi-constellation systems with shared resources
Knowledge of orbital mechanics fundamentals, pass prediction, and contact geometry
Experience with constraint solvers, optimization frameworks, or rules engines
Experience with event-driven or distributed systems and message queues
Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines
What We Offer
Opportunity to build software that actively prevents interference and enables safe multi-mission operations
High-impact role at the intersection of payloads, RF, spacecraft, and ground systems
Challenging technical problems with real-word operational consequences
Competitive compensation and full benefits
