SKYTRAC is seeking an experienced Technical Support Specialist 2 to join our team The TSS 2 is the escalation point between Tier 1 support and our senior technical team, resolving complex, system-level issues across SKYTRAC's flight-following platforms, data and API feeds, satellite and cellular connectivity, and connected airborne and ground hardware. The role drives faults to permanent resolution, supports customer onboarding, activations, and training, and strengthens the team's technical knowledge and documentation.

This position is based in office in our Kelowna, BC office, with participation in a rotational support model.

As a Technical Support Specialist 2, responsibilities include:

- Resolve complex escalations from Tier 1 across SKYTRAC’s flight-following platforms (TrooTrax, SkyWeb, WebSentinel, and Sky Connect), data services, and connectivity, escalating to the senior technical team as needed
- Troubleshoot data and API feeds end to end: ingestion, position and telemetry reporting, integrations with third-party flight-following applications, and customer API consumers, isolating where a feed breaks or degrades
- Analyze IP network traffic and telemetry to isolate performance, routing, or data-integrity issues across LEO, satellite, and cellular paths




- Diagnose issues that span software and hardware, interpreting platform behaviour, logs, and configuration, and, where relevant, aviation wiring diagrams, system schematics, and installation documentation
- Use AI-assisted tools, including SKYTRAC’s internal support assistant, to speed troubleshooting, log and data analysis, and documentation, validating output before acting on it
- Act as a technical liaison with engineering, software, and hardware teams to resolve persistent or systemic defects
- Support firmware, platform, and configuration validation and system integration testing for field-deployed systems
- Participate in AOG response as part of a rotational 24/7 support model
- Author and maintain internal and customer-facing documentation, including root-cause reports and resolution procedures
- Support customer onboarding, activations, and training on SKYTRAC platforms and tools
- Raise return material authorisations (RMAs) directly, capturing fault detail and initiating the repair or exchange, so a customer’s request is actioned without waiting on another team
- Mentor Tier 1 and contribute to onboarding guides, fault isolation manuals, and troubleshooting SOPs

What You Bring

- This is a specialised, engineering-grade technical support role. It requires the ability to reason about how avionics, radio-frequency, networking,



and data systems work at an engineering level; general desktop, Windows administration, or help-desk experience on its own is not sufficient. We welcome strong troubleshooters who are technically gifted in at least one of two areas, data and API feeds or avionics and radio equipment, with the aptitude and appetite to build the other.
- A degree or diploma in avionics or electrical engineering, computer science, or computer or network engineering, or a valid AME-E, M1, or M2 licence, or equivalent deep hands-on engineering experience
- Minimum three years in an engineering-support, avionics, network or systems engineering, or comparable complex technical support role
- Protocol-level IP networking ability: analyze TCP and UDP flows, capture and read packet traces, and reason through routing, NAT and firewall behaviour, and satellite and cellular transmission paths
- Strong troubleshooting in at least one of: data services and APIs (REST, JSON or XML feeds, webhooks, integrations, and data-integrity analysis); or avionics, radio, and SATCOM systems; with demonstrated aptitude to learn the other
- Proficiency with Linux-based systems and engineering diagnostic tooling such as tcpdump, Wireshark, and log analyzers
- Skill in leveraging AI-assisted tools (AI support assistants and AI-based log and data analysis) to work faster and more effectively, with sound judgement about when to trust their output and when to verify it
- Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, logs, API specifications, and, where relevant, wiring diagrams and system schematics
- Excellent customer communication and technical writing skills
- Ability to work evenings and weekends as
