Acts as a technical bridge between internal stakeholders and the OSS engineering team to design and specify automation for a space-based cellular broadband network. Key responsibilities include defining functional requirements for fault and performance management using TM Forum APIs, BPM tools like Camunda or Airflow, and integrating OSS with ERP/CRM systems.
AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.
Position Overview
We are seeking an OSS & Automation Architect to serve as the technical bridge between AST's internal stakeholders and the AST OSS engineering team. This is a dual-facing role - outward toward internal business stakeholders and teams in Service Assurance, Service Delivery, and Service Enablement; and inward toward the OSS engineering team and other technical teams to translate what those stakeholders need into precise, buildable specifications.
You will work in close conjunction with the OSS SW Platform Architect, contributing to Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), Functional Requirements (FRs), and Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) that shape the AST OSS platform. Where the Platform Architect sets the technical direction, you own the requirements surface - ensuring the architecture reflects real operational needs and that the OSS platform team is never building on assumptions.
This role requires equal command of business process analysis and OSS/automation domain knowledge. You must be credible in discussion with business process owners and equally credible in a design session with a technical team.
