Apply today and help us build a more inclusive, sustainable future in the world of satellite technology\nRole Overview\nEutelsat is seeking a 5G NTN RAN design, simulation and integration engineer to work on 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) systems, integrating satellite access into an end-to-end 5G system spanning the Core, ground and transport networks, payload and mission operations.\nYou'll contribute to the design and optimisation of the RAN architecture and work closely with RAN vendors and engineering subcontractors through co-engineering, implementation and integration. You'll collaborate closely with internal engineering, onboard-processing and supplier teams to ensure that supplier implementations meet system requirements and standards, and integrate cleanly into the end-to-end system.\nYou'll also help integrate the satellite access network and Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) system with the 5G Core, transport networks, payload, Mission Control Centre and operational support systems. A core part of the work is translating functional architecture, system requirements and functional chains into complete, consistent, implementable and verifiable requirements.\nKey Responsibilities\nRAN design and simulation\nContribute to the design and optimisation of the 5G NTN RAN architecture and functionalities.\nEvaluate algorithms and system parameters to optimise overall network performance.\nAnalyse the impact of scheduling strategies, QoS mechanisms, mobility procedures and resource allocation.\nSupport performance analysis through modelling and simulation.\nSupplier support\nWork closely with RAN suppliers during co-engineering, implementation and integration activities.\nReview supplier technical documentation, design proposals and implementation plans.\nMonitor vendors technical activities and support technical follow-up throughout development.\nParticipate in technical workshops, design reviews and engineering discussions.\nSupport the resolution of technical issues identified during implementation and integration.\nIntegration\nSupport integration between the RAN, onboard processing functions, payload and the wider communication system.\nCollaborate with HW engineers, onboard processing engineers and system engineering teams.\nSupport interoperability, verification and system integration activities.\nRequired Experience\nDegree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.\n5-10 years of relevant experience in end-to-end functional architecture, system architecture or systems engineering for complex telecommunications or other distributed systems.\nSolid grasp of 5G System architecture, including the interactions between user equipment, NG-RAN, the 5G Core, transport networks and service platforms.\nExperience in 5G NR RAN design, with a strong understanding of the 5G NR (and ideally NTN) protocol stack.\nWorking knowledge of 3GPP 5G and NTN standards and architecture.\nExperience with radio resource management (RRM), scheduling algorithms, QoS mechanisms or MAC-layer optimisation.\nExperience in system requirements analysis, design and development of access-network subsystems, with a focus on 5G solutions.\nExperience working with telecommunications suppliers during development or integration projects.\nExperience with communication-system modelling and performance analysis, using MATLAB or a similar simulation tool.\nStrong knowledge of O-RAN architecture and SMO, including SMO interfaces and its role in RAN configuration, orchestration and assurance.\nAbility to analyse complex technical problems and propose sound engineering solutions.\nDesirable Experience\nMaster's or PhD degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.\nExperience with service-platform, orchestration, management or OSS interfaces.\nExperience with LEO, MEO or GEO satellite communication systems.\nExperience with onboard-processing (OBP) architectures and satellite payload implementation.\nExperience with cloud-native RAN, containerised network functions (CNFs) and Kubernetes-based deployments.\nKnowledge of beamforming and beam-hopping configuration and modelling.\nKnowledge of IP networking, timing and synchronisation, and transport technologies used in 5G networks.\nExperience supporting multi-vendor interoperability and system integration.\nExperience on large-scale or multi-supplier telecommunications or satellite programmes, including collaborative programmes with industrial partners, research organisations or public institutions.\nExperience with verification, validation and operational-readiness activities, and with maintaining traceability across requirements, designs, supplier deliverables and verification evidence.\nFamiliarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE), requirements-management or architecture-modelling tools.\nCandidate Profile\nYou collaborate naturally across RAN, systems, onboard-processing and software domains, and with external vendors and subcontractors throughout the design-to-integration lifecycle.\nYou're confident and clear in technical discussions, design reviews and supplier workshops, able to explain complex concepts to internal teams and suppliers alike.\nYou can read technical specifications, standards and supplier documentation critically, spotting inconsistencies and implementation risks.\nYou work independently and exercise sound engineering judgement, while balancing technical quality against programme schedules and delivery priorities.\nYou can turn functional architecture and system needs into clear, consistent and verifiable requirements, and trace them through design, supplier deliverables and verification.\nYou're proactive, analytical and detail-oriented, and you adapt well as technical requirements evolve.\nEutelsat treats the protection of personal data submitted to it seriously.
