About the role
Azora is seeking a lead automation engineer to build the automation backbone for its optical ground stations. You will own autonomous pass scheduling, calibration routines, health monitoring, and fault recovery across a growing global network.
You will define the automation architecture and lead a small team of engineers. The role requires a strong background in Python and systems languages, hardware interfaces, and delivering reliable, 24/7 automation.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
