Description

Digantara is a leading Space Surveillance and Intelligence company focused on ensuring orbital safety and sustainability. With expertise in space-based detection, tracking, identification, and monitoring, Digantara provides comprehensive domain awareness across all regimes, enabling end-users to gain actionable intelligence on a single platform. At the core of its infrastructure lies a sophisticated integration of hardware and software capabilities aligned with the key principles of situational awareness: perception(data collection), comprehension (data processing), and prediction(analytics). This holistic approach empowers Digantara to monitor all Resident Space Objects(RSOs) in orbit, fostering comprehensive domain awareness. The Space Operations Analyst will support real-time monitoring and analysis of space activity, enabling timely insights, risk assessment, and operational decision-making for mission assurance. IDEAL CANDIDATE: * 1–3 years of experience in space operations, SDA/SSA, or orbital mechanics-related domains. * Strong analytical ability to interpret complex space data and identify anomalies or risks. * Comfortable working in high-tempo, mission-critical environments with strong ownership and communication. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES: * Monitor and analyze space domain activity to identify events, anomalies, and potential risks to space assets. * Utilize diverse data sources including TLEs, sensor observations, and open-source intelligence for analysis. * Maintain and update Resident Space Object (RSO) catalogs to ensure accurate tracking and custody. * Support real-time and near-real-time operations to maintain continuous situational awareness. * Generate actionable reports, alerts, and briefings on ongoing or emerging space events. * Perform modeling, simulation, and data-driven analysis to support operational decisions. * Develop and deploy Python-based scripts to automate workflows and improve analytical efficiency. * Contribute to operational procedures, workflows, and response strategies including course-of-action analysis. * Support testing, validation, and integration of SDA algorithms into operational systems. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve system performance and operational outcomes. * Participate in simulations and readiness exercises to enhance operational capability. QUALIFICATIONS: * Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Aerospace, Astrodynamics, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field. * 1–3 years of experience in space operations or related analytical domains. * Strong understanding of orbital mechanics and astrodynamics principles. * Proficiency in Python for data analysis, scripting, and automation. * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex datasets. PREFERRED QUALITIES: * Experience with SDA/SSA workflows such as conjunction analysis, orbit determination, and tracking. * Familiarity with space object catalogs, TLE data, and tools such as SGP4, Orekit, or GMAT. * Experience with data visualization and situational awareness tools. * Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS) and containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes). * Understanding of software development best practices including version control and testing. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: * Ability to operate in a 24/7 mission environment, including shift-based work if required. * Strong communication and briefing skills for operational reporting. * High attention to detail and ability to perform under time-sensitive conditions. * Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. * Adaptability to evolving tools, workflows, and mission requirements. * Collaborative mindset with strong cross-functional teamwork. * Proactive approach to learning and continuous improvement.
