The role

Sateliot is a Barcelona-based satellite company with one goal: connect everything, everywhere. Founded in 2018, we've built the first satellite constellation that lets standard commercial devices communicate directly from space. Our technology bridges the gaps that terrestrial networks will never reach, bringing affordable and secure connectivity to industries, governments, and communities across the planet.

What you'll do

  • Proactively monitor the network service end to end during your shift (satellite and ground core network, feeder/service links, and the routes towards our mobile network operator partners), identifying potential issues before they impact service delivery.

  • Triage alarms using the established runbooks: classify, verify, apply the documented first-line response, and judge accurately what to resolve and what to pass on.

  • Own the ticket lifecycle: Take responsibility for tracking assigned incidents until resolution, ensuring stakeholders are updated and final closure criteria are met, even when tasks involve collaboration across different teams.

  • Manage partner communications: Act as the primary point of contact for mobile network operator (MNO) partners during service-impacting events, ensuring they receive clear, timely updates that maintain trust and transparency during recovery efforts.

  • Escalate effectively to second-line teams when a runbook reaches its limit, providing the context - what you observed, what you tried, what changed - that lets the receiving engineer continue without repeating your work.

  • Maintain accurate records: incidents raised and tracked in the ticketing system, actions logged, timelines correct.

  • Run shift handover rigorously, so that open issues carry their full state across the change of shift.

  • Contribute to the knowledge base: you are the person best placed to notice where a runbook is unclear or incomplete. Flag it, and help improve it.

  • Support planned activity: execute your part of maintenance windows, releases and commissioning campaigns under the applicable procedures.

  • Feed the improvement loop: report noisy alarms, false positives, observability gaps and manual steps worth automating.

How we work

In their own words

About the company & team

Sateliot operates a 5G NTN satellite network delivering NB-IoT connectivity through mobile network operators. Our Network Operations Centre is the primary owner of that network: it watches the service continuously, identifies issues before customers experience them, and drives them through to resolution.

We are looking for a NOC Operator to join that team. Monitoring tooling, alarm logic, runbooks and escalation paths are established at Sateliot. Your role is to operate them day to day, feed the improvement loop, and to bring the practical insight that only a daily user can provide.

This is a strong entry point into satellite network operations. Prior space-sector experience is not required but welcomed- we provide the domain training. What matters is reliability, method and curiosity.
