Apply today and help us build a more inclusive, sustainable future in the world of satellite technology\nRole Overview\nEutelsat is seeking a Systems Engineer to design, define, coordinate and maintain the interfaces of future satellite communication systems and services build on or around IRIS².\nThe role spans the system end to end, including interfaces between elements across the user, space, ground, network, service and operations domains. These elements may include user equipment and terminals, NG-RAN, the 5G Core, terrestrial and satellite transport networks, satellite payloads, gateways, satellite and network control centres, service platforms, orchestration systems and operational support systems.\nYou will help ensure that independently designed and delivered system elements can interoperate as one end-to-end satellite communication service. This involves translating functional architecture, system requirements and functional chains into complete, consistent, implementable and verifiable interface requirements.\nYou will be responsible for ensuring the system interfaces match the system design, merging inputs from suppliers and internal SMEs with your own analysis. In general, you will aim to drive convergence on a common set of interface patterns and aim to reduce the complexity of the system.\nKey Responsibilities\nEstablish and maintain the interface register and interface matrix for the end-to-end system; identify interfaces, their boundaries and respective owners.\nIdentify, in collaboration with subject matter experts, the applicable standards and reference architectures for each interface.\nMaintain interface assumptions, constraints, rationale, dependencies, decisions and open technical points.\nTranslate functional chains, system requirements, operational use cases, design needs into clear, traceable and verifiable requirements.\nDefine required information exchanges across control, user, and management-plane interfaces, together with the associated behaviour, sequencing, preconditions and expected responses for nominal operation, degraded modes, failure, recovery and re-establishment.\nEstablish and maintain a unified system data model, protocols stacks addressing assumptions and connectivity constraints.\nDefine interface performance, timing, availability, security in accordance with system design without prescribing supplier specific designs.\nDefine interface versioning and compatibility requirements in accordance with system versions.\nMaintain the interface content of the system model and their allocation to requirements.\nEnsure the model remains authoritative and reflects the system design.\nProvide clear and accessible documentation of the model and interfaces to external and internal stakeholders.\nChair and organise interface working groups with owners and relevant stakeholders, drive technical agreement, record decisions and track open points.\nSupport definition of interface verification methods, acceptance criteria and required evidence with IVV teams.\nRequired Experience\n5-10 years of relevant professional experience in end-to-end functional architecture, system architecture or systems engineering for satellite constellations, complex telecommunications or other distributed systems.\nMaster’s degree in engineering, computer science or another technical discipline.\nExperience with systems engineering on large multi-supplier systems with demonstrable contribution to interfaces.\nWorking knowledge of at least one standards family (3GPP, O-RAN, CCSDS, TMF,…).\nExperience chairing or leading technical discussions with external suppliers and partners.\nFluent English, written to specification standard.\nDesirable Experience\nExperience on space, telecom or defence programmes with formal review lifecycles (SRR/PDR/CDR).\nUnderstanding of IP networking and common higher layer software communications protocols.\nUnderstanding of satellite constellation mission and fleet management.\nGround segment, satellite internet services or NTN experience.\nTransport network, 5G Core or RAN experience.\nExperience with data modelling and schema design.\nExposure to security architectures, in particular trust boundaries between domains.\nFamiliarity with model-based systems engineering, requirements-management tools or architecture-modelling tools.\nCandidate Profile\nYou are a technically rigorous engineer who can work across several engineering domains while maintaining focus on the purpose and behaviour of the end-to-end system.\nYou are able to:\nLead structured technical discussions without relying on formal authority and facilitate agreement between the owners of interconnected system elements.\nWork effectively across cultural, organisational, disciplinary and supplier boundaries.\nIdentify ambiguity, inconsistency and incomplete technical definitions, and drive complex interface issues towards a clear decision or documented resolution path.\nDistinguish system requirements from implementation preferences and supplier design proposals.\nCommunicate effectively with both specialist and non-specialist stakeholders, explaining interface decisions, dependencies, assumptions and risks clearly.\nBalance technical rigour with programme constraints, delivery priorities and available evidence, maintaining end-to-end consistency while several teams or suppliers develop different parts of the system in parallel.\nEutelsat treats the protection of personal data submitted to it seriously.
