Job Description:

Senior RF Systems Engineering Specialist – Satellite Communications. This role requires deep technical expertise in satellite RF communications, with a strong focus on physical layer and Layer 2 system design. A solid working knowledge of Layer 3 and higher protocols is also expected. The successful candidate will bring extensive experience with DVB-S2, DVB-S2X, and DVB-RCS2 standards, along with a strong foundation in RF and digital communications theory. You will have hands-on experience with Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) techniques and a strong understanding of modern antenna technologies, including active and phased array systems. This includes digital beamforming, rapid beam hopping, and antenna performance modelling. The role operates within a systems engineering framework, requiring familiarity with requirements management and the full lifecycle from concept through verification.

Job Responsibility:

  • Analyze and review RF link budgets, conduct system-level trade studies, and model signal impairments to evaluate overall communications performance
  • Collaborate closely with system architects, RF, antenna, and earth station engineers to allocate functionality between hardware and software while optimizing system performance
  • Develop and maintain high-level requirements and specifications for RF links, RF subsystems, and antenna systems, including managing requirement updates as designs evolve
  • Define, review, and assess test plans, procedures, and results to verify compliance with system specifications
  • Perform system performance characterization and analysis, maintaining detailed performance budgets for assigned system elements
  • Provide technical expertise in support of regulatory, spectrum coordination, and market access activities
  • Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical resource for team members with developing domain expertise
  • Prepare and deliver technical presentations to internal and external engineering audiences as required

Requirements:

  • Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, with a focus on RF, antenna and microwave engineering, digital communications, or digital signal processing
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant experience performing system-level RF or satellite communications engineering
  • Proven experience with digital communication systems, including spread-spectrum and single- and multi-carrier architectures
  • Strong background in modulation schemes such as PSK, APSK, and QAM
  • Direct experience with DVB-S2X, DVB-RCS2, and Adaptive Coding and Modulation techniques
  • Demonstrated capability in modelling RF communication systems using advanced tools such as MATLAB, Python, or equivalent environments
  • Strong collaborator who performs effectively in cross-functional engineering teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • High standards for technical quality, accuracy, and documentation
  • Capable of managing multiple complex technical challenges concurrently
