Position Overview

We are seeking a System Engineering specialist to support system-level design, requirements definition, and—critically—integration activities across R&D; development projects.

This role sits at the intersection of architecture and implementation. The successful candidate will help translate system concepts into actionable requirements, support development teams during design and bring-up, and actively participate in end-to-end system integration, debugging, and validation.

Key Responsibilities

- Define system-level architectures, interfaces, and specifications for hub and terminal subsystems.

- Perform end-to-end system analysis of DVB-RCS2 / DVB-S2X technologies, including traffic flows, timing, QoS, and synchronization.

- Participate in the integration and validation of new features (e.g. mobility, SDN/VNF, MEC, encryption, cloud integration).

- Support hub and modem development through modeling, simulation, and lab testing.

- Develop and maintain system requirements, sequence diagrams, and test plans, ensuring traceability from design to verification.

- Conduct lab-based troubleshooting and experimentation using RF, baseband, and networking tools.

- Contribute to automation and test scripts for system-level regression and performance validation.

- Collaborate closely with HW, FPGA, DSP, and software teams to ensure alignment with system intent and performance objectives.

- Prepare technical documentation and specifications for internal use and selected external stakeholders

Knowledge And Experience





- Solid understanding of satellite and wireless communication systems, including modulation, coding, synchronization, propagation, and resource control.

- Strong familiarity with DVB-S2X / DVB-RCS2 or similar standards.

- Solid foundation in IP networking, including routing, switching, QoS, acceleration techniques, SDN, and virtualization.

- Hands-on experience with Linux-based systems and lab environments, including traffic generation, network traffic analysis, and system-level troubleshooting.

- Familiarity with scripting and automation tools to support system integration and validation activities is an asset.

- Experience with cellular backhauling, Metro Ethernet (MEF 3.0), or SD-WAN is an asset.

- Hands-on experience in telecom lab environments, integrating routers, modems, and network analyzers.

- Working knowledge of security and encryption mechanisms.

- Familiarity with NMS/EMS, OSS/BSS, and accounting systems is an asset.

- Exposure to cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, virtualization, containerization) is a plus.

- Interest or exposure to AI/ML, IoT, MEC, or NFV technologies is beneficial.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Telecommunications, or Networking Engineering.

- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in satellite, telecom, or advanced networking R&D.;

- Proven ability to produce clear technical documentation and analysis reports.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

- Excellent communication skills in English.

- Self-driven, collaborative, and comfortable working in an R&D-focused; environment.
