Collaborates with satellite operators and product managers to deliver reliable ground systems, writes tests and documentation, and participates in software and code reviews. The intern works hands-on across Kepler’s software stack and must complete a full-time internship beginning January 2027 while returning to post-secondary studies afterward.

Supports the People & Culture team with HRIS implementation and operations, personnel records, employee documentation, training coordination, HR reporting, onboarding, offboarding, performance management, employee engagement, and enterprise HR projects. The intern will research engagement strategies, support workplace events, maintain confidential information, and assist with HR programs while developing practical human resources experience.

Designs, builds, and operates mission-critical satellite, service provider, corporate, and hybrid cloud networks. Responsibilities include routing and switching, network security and segmentation, AWS connectivity, automation with Python, Ansible, and Terraform, monitoring and observability, incident response, change management, documentation, and collaboration with software, FPGA, and mission operations teams. The role also participates in on-call support and advances network reliability, scalability, and programmability.

Leads Kepler’s cross-functional IT Operations team while remaining hands-on with infrastructure, networking, cloud platforms, DevOps, security, incident response, and escalations. Owns operational reliability, technology roadmaps, lifecycle management, documentation, budgeting, vendor coordination, disaster recovery, and security controls. Coaches and develops team members, supports hiring, manages projects and risks, and communicates infrastructure performance and operational priorities to senior leadership.

Leads end-to-end development and execution of satellite programs from concept through on-orbit validation. Owns scope, schedule, cost, risk, technical reviews, performance reporting, subcontractor coordination, and cross-functional alignment across engineering, operations, and business development. The role manages the Tranche-2 satellite constellation, supports proposal efforts, drives mitigation plans, and presents program status to internal and external stakeholders.

Develop and maintain reliable embedded software for spacecraft and ground systems. Build secure communications, device drivers, kernel modules, hardware interfaces, platform services, automated tests, and validation tools. Contribute to architecture, design and code reviews, debugging, performance improvements, and system reliability. Collaborate across software, hardware, and operations teams while providing technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers.

Design, develop, and maintain high-reliability embedded software for spacecraft and ground systems. Implement secure communications, low-level drivers and kernel components, automated tests and validation tooling, participate in architecture and code reviews, troubleshoot cross-functional issues, and mentor junior engineers to improve system performance and reliability.

Own and improve infrastructure security across corporate, cloud, network, endpoint, and operational environments. Responsibilities include vulnerability and configuration management, SIEM and security monitoring, EDR/XDR, incident response, cloud security, infrastructure hardening, security automation, and support for Government of Canada regulated environments. The role coordinates with IT, Engineering, Operations, and external security providers to reduce risk, remediate vulnerabilities, improve detection, and maintain compliance evidence.
