Jobbeschreibung

Are you looking for an exciting new opportunity?

Join a leading global provider of satellite-based broadband VSAT, broadcast, government, and defence communication networks and ground station solutions, with more than 30 years of experience delivering secure, tailor-engineered satellite network and system solutions to customers across over 130 countries.

The role offers the opportunity to join a small, agile international team building a brand-new LEO satellite installation and integration product from the ground up in the Bodensee region of Germany. As part of a five-person core team, the Embedded Software Engineer will have genuine day-one involvement across system architecture, tooling selection, design, implementation, and testing for a next-generation NTN/3GPP satellite product, with direct exposure to satellite communications and 5G/6G NTN infrastructure in a high-trust environment with no legacy codebase or unnecessary bureaucracy.
