Latest satellite Jobs

Technical Sales Engineer

You will act as the technical voice in sales conversations, running discovery calls and demos with satellite operators and scoping tracking tiers, data products and retroreflector solutions. The role also involves answering technical requirements in RFPs, supporting customers integrating retroreflectors onto spacecraft, and feeding customer needs back to product and engineering. It sits within a small London team of engineers and scientists working on satellite laser ranging.
