    Description

    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.
    • Strong 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.
