The Role
This is an individual contributor role. You will contribute to the end-to-end Network Operations capability for OISL, including building tools and services for monitoring and incident response, driving automation of operational workflows, and supporting operational readiness as the constellation scales. You will partner with engineers across the organization to develop solutions that improve laser link reliability and availability.
