## About the role

We’re looking for students with solid engineering fundamentals on track to graduate in Summer 2027 or sooner. As a Mission Ops Engineer, you'll be the person on the ground helping customers deploy Nominal's platform into their test and operations environments — propulsion test stands, satellite mission ops, flight test, and similar high-stakes settings. You'll train users, troubleshoot issues in real time, and build the relationships that turn a deployment into a long-term partnership. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Write code to ingest and normalize customer data from test stands, DAQs, telemetry streams, and other hardware sources
- Build custom apps, dashboards, and workflows on Nominal's platform for each customer's specific needs
- Own outcomes for a set of customer accounts: run discovery to understand their test problems, then deliver solutions that stick
- Build trusted relationships with engineers and operators, and train their teams as they bring Nominal into daily use
- Debug issues across the stack in real time, and know when to solve something yourself versus pull in the broader team
- Turn patterns you see across customers into clear input for the product and engineering teams
