We are building out a high performing interdisciplinary team capable of pushing the boundaries of space technology. We are growing fast and looking for talented, passionate people that value collaboration, growth and learning to join our team.

With years of experience in this domain, the HEO team will help you expand your knowledge and skills to flourish in this exciting role.

Your key responsibilities:

• Work with HEO’s in-house analytics tools to generate consistent, and high quality insights by processing NEI data we collect.
• Combine insights derived from NEI with publicly available information to develop in-depth characterisation and pattern-of-life reports on space objects.
• Schedule and support NEI data collection through tasking our space-based sensors to support government and commercial customer needs.
• Coordinate with HEO’s globally distributed team of analysts to share knowledge and improve customer experience.
• Work closely with customers to understand their needs and identify how we can improve our products.

We are looking for someone with:

• 2+ years of industry experience or a postgraduate degree in a related field. Previous work experience in intelligence (GEOINT, MASINT, SIGINT, OSINT) and remote sensing domains is considered a plus.
• Understanding and keen interest in space, satellite subsystems and structures.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills (including scientific or intelligence writing) and excellent attention to detail.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills; comfortable with experimenting to solve new challenges.
• Collaborative team player who thrives in a small, fast-moving startup environment and is willing to pitch in, working closely with others to achieve shared goals.
• Experience in programming (Python), data visualisation tools (Grafana), space domain awareness and astrodynamics is considered a plus.
• Desired but not essential: Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Physics, Mathematics, Political Science, Business Studies or a similar field.

Our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:

We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance HEO and our culture. Research shows that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single competency or experience. If you are excited about this role, but your past experience doesn't align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You could be just the right person for this role and HEO. If you have any support or access requirements, we encourage you to advise us at time of application and throughout the interview process.
