Careers

Civilian advisors assist the ISDC by providing analysis and insights into the organisation’s operations. Advisors have access to highly confidential mission reports, telemetry and sensor data from deep space missions.

Lieutenant Amelia Chen is a science officer, coordinating the teams that scan and analyse vessels, objects and phenomena that Endeavour encounters in space. It’s her responsibility to ensure that as much as possible is discovered and passed on to the Conn during such encounters to ensure the safety of the ship and the success of the mission.

Lt. Commander Rob Hewson is an engineering officer, part of a team of officers and crew that deliver Endeavour’s power, provide propulsion and monitor, maintain and repair the ship and its systems.

Lieutenant Neeraj Anahira is a tactical officer, coordinating the vessel’s tactical operations and serving as ‘tactical point’ on the bridge during combat situations, ensuring that the Conn has current information on the vessel’s 

The Warrant Officer program allows technical specialists to operate and contribute within a military chain of command while having their experience and seniority recognised appropriately. This means they are able to undertake active duty aboard vessels (unlike civilian advisors). 

Crew are the technical specialists of the ISDC and receive applied technical training in their chosen professional fields right from the beginning of their careers.

Officers are military specialists focused on developing the leadership skills necessary to ensure effectiveness in dangerous and tactically complex environments.

Mustering a crew ready to undertake deep space missions is as high a priority as building Endeavour itself.  The ISDC supports professional development with a variety of career options underpinned by the Academy, providing training in the technology, systems, procedures and protocols unique to Endeavour's mission.
