About this role

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Mission Brief&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;We are currently not conducting an active recruitment process for this position. However, we are building a talent pool and would be delighted to consider your profile for future opportunities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;As a Senior Launch Operations Engineer,&amp;nbsp;you’ll&amp;nbsp;join&amp;nbsp;the team in Germany&amp;nbsp;that shapes how our missions come to life.&amp;nbsp;From the moment a campaign is conceived, you are the one aligning global launch sites, synchronizing teams and defining the operational path that&amp;nbsp;ultimately determines&amp;nbsp;how—and whether—the rocket leaves the ground.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335551550&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335551620&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:360}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Within the global Launch Operations team, you stand at the core of our mission: transforming complex campaigns into repeatable,&amp;nbsp;scalable&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;reliable&amp;nbsp;operations&amp;nbsp;over multiple launch sites. Your work creates&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;structure that enables teams across the world to execute with confidence and precision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335551550&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335551620&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:360}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;When a campaign moves from planning to execution, you step directly into the field—joining local teams on site, leading coordination efforts&amp;nbsp;in the company, and operations both inside and outside the control room. In these moments, you carry the responsibility of turning months of preparation into a successful launch day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335551550&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335551620&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:360}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Over time, you can grow into a test or launch director role for dedicated missions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335551550&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335551620&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:360}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

You use this knowledge to guide local teams and&amp;nbsp;maintain&amp;nbsp;global alignment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335551550&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335551620&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:360}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Your decisions set the operational envelope long before the rocket reaches the pad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335551550&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335551620&amp;quot;:6,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:360}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
