Satellite Ground Station Engineer

We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: About Us, EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes sections: About Us (should be removed), What You'll Do (responsibilities), The day-to-day (maybe part of responsibilities), What You'll Need (requirements/qualifications/skills), What Will Help You On The Job (maybe skills/benefits?), Salary range (Pay), Benefits mention (benefits). Also mention travel, on-call, etc. Those could be under Requirements or maybe Schedule? Travel up to 50% could be schedule? Actually schedule: maybe travel and on-call. But we need to only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to decide headings: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content: "What You'll Do" and "The day-to-day" both describe responsibilities. We'll combine under Responsibilities. "What You'll Need" includes many bullet-like items (though not bullet list). We'll need to parse into list items. It includes: 5 years of field-related experience. Aptitude to lead technical resolution while performing emergency restoral actions on ground station equipment, including: ACUs, Up converters, Down converters, HPA’s, fiber optic subsystems, LNA/LNB’s, antennas, Baseband and IP equipment (modems, multiplexers, DVB, Broadband platforms). Direct experience repairing and installing satellite earth stations Proficiency in using various types of RF and IP test equipment (spectrum analyzers, OTDRs, Multimeter) Self-motivated with the internal drive and initiative to begin and continue tasks without external stimulus. Capable of quickly adapting to new and dynamic situations in diverse environments Proficiency in providing remote technical assistance and working independently to quickly identify root cause and formulating temporary and/or long-term solutions. Ability to handle working long hours in stressful work environments until successfully resolving customer issues. Experience installing, configuring, and troubleshooting LAN and other IP equipment on customer sites. Microsoft Office suite experience (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Competency to develop and execute test plans and draft test reports. Ability to demonstrate problem-solving skills, an analytical mindset, and strong communication skills. Bachelor's Degree in a technical discipline or associate degree plus equivalent work experience. US citizenship is required for this position. Possession of Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain one. Capability to be on-call after hours for up to 30%. Ability to travel up to 50%, including internationally. Possession of an active US passport or ability to obtain one within six months of start date. Ability to pass skills testing for grip and static strength, dynamic lifting and work/positional tolerances. Capability to work at heights and confined spaces. That's a lot; we can treat as Requirements (maybe also Qualifications). The posting also has "What Will Help You On The Job" which includes: 1+ years of experience with Viasat specific products (list), Advanced analytical skills..., Ability to work under pressure..., Experience working in Sales Force, ServiceNow or other Ticketing and Workflow tools. Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility. That could be Skills or Qualifications. We need to avoid duplication. We'll create sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly About the role not needed because we have no separate summary besides "What You'll Do". Could use About the role for a brief description? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." There's no job title given in snippet; but we can ignore. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we must include details like salary range, benefits mention, travel, on-call, clearance, etc. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range, so Pay section is valid. Benefits: posting mentions "Additional cash or stock incentives may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the position offered. Learn more about Viasat’s comprehensive benefit offerings..." That's substantive enough for Benefits section. Schedule: we have travel up to 50%, on-call after hours up to 30%. That's schedule-related. Could be Schedule section. Now we need to format using

headings,

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what constitutes a list. For responsibilities we have prose; could be

  . For requirements we have many items; could be

  • . For qualifications maybe also list. For skills also list. We need to avoid duplicating content. Let's structure:

    Responsibilities

    Join a team that keeps mission-critical space communications running. As a Field Service Engineer, you'll perform hands-on installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of advanced ground systems that support space operations around the globe. Your work will directly contribute to the success of cutting-edge satellite communications technology, ensuring customers stay connected when it matters most. This position is a result of our strong business growth and pioneering of high bandwidth SATCOM solutions for commercial, government and military applications. You will be responsible for providing technical support for our SATCOM earth station customers around the world. Your excellent skills will come into play as you interface directly with the customer, while your ability to work independently to identify the root cause of problems and implement solutions enable customers to operate their system with minimal down time. You will also coordinate with the engineering team at our headquarters for the prompt resolution of any issues encountered to support customer requirements.

    That captures What You'll Do and The day-to-day.

    Requirements

    Now Qualifications: maybe we can treat education and clearance as qualifications, but we already included them in Requirements. Could split: Requirements = experience and technical skills; Qualifications = education, citizenship, clearance. But we already have education and citizenship in Requirements list. Might be okay to keep all in Requirements and not have Qualifications section. However we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). But we have headings list; we can choose to include only those with real content. Could have Requirements (includes experience, education, clearance) and Skills (includes specific product experience, analytical skills, ticketing tools, Top Secret clearance). But Top Secret clearance is also a clearance; we already have Active Secret clearance; Top Secret is a higher level; could be under Skills or Qualifications. We need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting includes "What Will Help You On The Job" which is like preferred qualifications/skills. That includes: 1+ years experience with Viasat specific products, Advanced analytical skills, Ability to work under pressure and communicate effectively, Experience working in Sales Force, ServiceNow or other Ticketing and Workflow tools, Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility. Thus we can create a Skills section for those. Thus we have: Responsibilities (p) Requirements (ul) - includes mandatory requirements: 5 years experience, technical aptitude, direct experience, proficiency with test equipment, self-motivated, adaptable, remote assistance, long hours, LAN/IP experience, MS Office, test plans, problem-solving, Bachelor's degree or associate+experience, US citizenship, Active Secret clearance, on-call 30%, travel 50%, US passport, physical testing, heights/confined spaces. Skills (ul) - includes: 1+ years experience with Viasat specific products (AC4100, AC4100+, VTR-4100, VTR-5100, VHR modem product line), Advanced analytical skills to troubleshoot problems to root cause and implement short- and long-term solutions, Ability to work under pressure and communicate effectively directly with customers, Experience working in Sales Force, ServiceNow or other Ticketing and Workflow tools, Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility. Benefits (p) - includes: Additional cash or stock incentives may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the position offered. Learn more about Viasat’s comprehensive benefit offerings that are focused on your holistic health and wellness at https://careers.viasat.com/benefits. Pay (p) - includes: Salary range $82,000.00 - $129,500.00 / annually. For specific work locations within San Jose, the San Francisco Bay area and New York City metropolitan area, the base pay range for this role is $102,000.00- $153,000.00/ annually. At Viasat, we consider many factors when it comes to compensation, including the scope of the position as well as your background and experience.

(We already have on-call and travel in Requirements; but we could move them to Schedule to avoid duplication.

Better to move on-call and travel to Schedule section, and remove from Requirements to avoid duplication. But we need to preserve all
