Peraton is seeking an Operations Lead for the Deep Space Network (DSN) program in our Monrovia, CA location in support of NASA/JPL.
The Deep Space Network is NASA's international array of giant radio antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions, plus a few that orbit Earth. The DSN also provides radar and radio astronomy observations that improve our understanding of the solar system and the larger universe. The antennas of the Deep Space Network are the indispensable link to explorers venturing beyond the moon. They provide the crucial connection for commanding our spacecraft and receiving their never before seen images and scientific information on Earth, propelling our understanding of the universe, our solar system and ultimately, our place within it.
The Operations Lead is operationally and administratively responsible to the Network Operations Control Team (NOCT) Manager. The Operations Lead is responsible for real-time monitor and control of the NOCT and real-time resource management of Deep Space Network (DSN) assets. DSN assets include, but are not limited to, all operational ground station antennas and their related subsystems.
