satellite engineer
Satellite engineers develop, test and oversee the manufacture of satellite systems and satellite programmes. They may also develop software programs, collect and research data, and test the satellite systems. Satellite engineers can also develop systems to command and control satellites. They monitor satellites for issues and report on the behaviour of the satellite in orbit.
Also called: satellite software developer, satellite communication engineer, satellite communications engineer, satellite space system engineer, satellite software engineer, satellite control engineer, satellite system engineer, satellite engineering analyst
