Responsibilities of this role are listed below:

• Act as a founding member of the support team, playing a key role in establishing and scaling ALLSPACE’s technical support and operational capability.
• Lead and coordinate complex technical investigations with Satellite Network Operators, teleport providers, and modem vendors, driving root cause analysis across RF, IP, and modem layers.
• Maintain clear ownership of customer communications during all operational events, delivering proactive, accurate, and technically credible updates throughout customer issues.
• Support service activation for live satellite links, including the commissioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting of satellite modems and associated ground segment equipment.
• Operate and improve ITSM processes (Incident, Release, and RMA), ensuring robust control of satellite network changes, modem firmware updates, and hardware replacements in live environments.
• Develop and maintain desk-level procedures and knowledge articles focused on satellite link bring-up, modem configuration, fault isolation, and recovery, accelerating operational maturity and reducing mean time to restore service.
• Deliver real-time support for ALLSPACE demonstrations and customer trials, including pre-event link validation, modem testing, and live monitoring to ensure service performance.
• Perform proactive link health checks and analysis of modem telemetry, RF metrics, and network performance to identify and remediate anomalies before they impact live service.

• 8+ years of progressive experience in satellite network operations, satellite terminal, modem providers, teleport operations, or complex field installation and commissioning environments, with accountability for live service performance.
• Extensive hands-on experience supporting GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite systems, including live link bring-up, modem configuration, service activation, and ongoing operational support.
• Proven track record of leading complex, time-critical troubleshooting across satellite, RF, modem, and IP layers within customer-impacting production environments.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in a greenfield or high-growth environment, shaping operational processes, making sound technical decisions under pressure, and balancing speed with service stability.
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, with credibility and confidence to communicate clearly with executive stakeholders, customers, vendors, and engineering teams.
• High level of personal ownership, urgency, and resilience, consistently driving investigations to resolution and setting the operational standard for others to follow.
