Original job 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
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
- 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.
- 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.
