Satellite Communications Jobs - Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer
By Editor | November 15, 2007
There are several careers available for satellite communications jobs in the satellite communications industry. However, most satellite communications jobs require extensive education. Most satellite communications jobs require engineering degrees and some at the Masters level. We have list a few satellite communications jobs below along with their descriptions, expected salary, experience level required and education requirements. Keep in mind that the salary, education requirements, experience and education levels are variable and depend on what the satellite communications jobs market is like when you are applying.
One satellite communications job is the Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer. This satellite communications job or positions can be found in organizations such as NOAA or NASA. This particular satellite communications job is technically challenging and requires the position to perform Satellite Constellation Availability/Reliability Simulation (SCARS) analysis of existing specifications for reliability and latency of data. A person holding this position is also required to calculate margins available against level I & II requirements. This satellite communications job also requires that one develop program level requirements allocation document that delineates existing performance requirements for major elements within the systems including margin available. The Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer must also have knowledge of commercial hardware and software available along with the capabilities of this hardware and software. Finally one must have a thorough understanding of the satellite communications ground process.
The expected salary for this satellite communications job, Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer, is typically between $65,000 and $90,000 and that will depend on the experience level and education of the candidate applying for the job.
Satellite communications jobs, especially those in engineering, require higher experience levels as well as higher education requirements than other communications fields. Most Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer positions require a minimum of four years experience and primarily this is experience is typically in analysis of the system availability utilizing tools like SCARS. Scars uses satellite, instrument and launch vehicle reliability data, along with past and planned launch dates. The Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer will typically conduct “what-if” training evolutions to gain more understanding of the impact created by programmatic decision that can create changes to the production and launch of satellites. Typically this satellite communications job requires the Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer to also maintain the SCARS and remains operational and receives maintenance and upgrades when needed.
As stated, most satellite communications jobs require a degree from a college or university and most of the time it is a BS or higher in some type of computer science or engineering. The Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer typically requires a Bachelor of Science or equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Physical Science or Mathematics. With that comes the requirement to communicate effectively and the Satellite Systems Analyst/Engineer must have excellent written and verbal communications skills required.
