Software Development Specialist

Full-time

telesat

 

Telesat (Nasdaq and TSX: TSAT) is a leading global satellite operator, providing reliable and secure satellite-delivered communications solutions worldwide to broadcast, telecommunications, corporate and government customers for over 55 years. Backed by a legacy of engineering excellence, reliability and industry-leading customer service, Telesat has grown to be one of the largest and most successful global satellite operators.

Telesat Lightspeed, our revolutionary Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network, scheduled to begin service in 2027, will revolutionize global broadband connectivity for enterprise and Government users by delivering a combination of high capacity, security, resiliency and affordability with ultra-low latency and fiber-like speeds. Telesat is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, and has offices and facilities around the world.

 
The company’s state-of-the-art Satellite fleet consists of 12 GEO satellites, the Canadian payload on ViaSat-1 and one LEO 3 demonstration satellite. For more information, follow Telesat on X and LinkedIn or visit

We are seeking an experienced software developer with Systems Engineering domain knowledge to build practical AI-enabled tools and workflows that accelerate day-to-day Systems Engineering work for the Lightspeed program. This role has the potential to deliver outsized impact by materially improving engineering throughput, baseline quality, and decision velocity—directly supporting Lightspeed execution and creating reusable capabilities for Telesat.

This is an individual contributor role. The successful candidate is a software developer first and foremost—strong at designing, building, and shipping maintainable internal tools—who also understands (or is highly motivated to learn) classical Systems Engineering practices such as requirements quality, traceability, baselining, and change control.

The focus is not to “automate Systems Engineering,” but to deliver engineer-trusted tools and repeatable workflows that: increase velocity while preserving governance (traceability, baselining, configuration/change control); keep humans in the loop for adjudication; and produce auditable, repeatable outputs.

You will leverage modern AI (including large language models) programmatically—not just via chat—to create workflows that integrate with existing SE tools and artifacts (e.g., Jama and Confluence). In the first phase, success is defined by shipping an MVP, achieving adoption with a core SE user group, and iterating based on feedback.

If you are a strong software developer who enjoys building AI-enabled tools—and you’re motivated by making Systems Engineering teams faster without weakening rigor and governance—this may be for you.

Resource is required to work in office at Telesat HQ a minimum of 4 days per week.
