Job Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled Broadband Connectivity Architect to join our team and define the end-to-end architecture of our next generation European LEO satellite communications system (IRIS²). You will work closely with internal engineers, architects, product and business development managers, and external suppliers to lead the development of system components. You will write technical requirements, perform system trade studies, define the concept of operations, and maintain the technical baseline, including all interface definitions. You will collaborate with the program and the Integration & Test team to ensure the system is developed and fit for purpose. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact within an organization that values growth, teamwork, and professional development.

Who You Are

• You’re a broadband connectivity architect who has followed the deployment and refinement of at least one large transport network for 5G fronthaul, midhaul or backhaul transport network or WAN transport network. This does not have to be a satellite-based system.
• Proven ability to support Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operations Support Systems (OSS) functional integration processes.
• Proven experience in IT infrastructure requirements for ground-based system installations.
• You’ve worked with or for telecom component suppliers, leading design reviews from either the supplier or customer side.
• You have a deep understanding and experience in the system development, integration, verification, and validation process.
• 5-10 years of industry work experience.

What You’ll Do

• Specify Ground Transport and Control Network and related functional composition of the whole communications system.
• Own the network-level requirements and work with subsystem leads to ensure their requirements reflect the system needs.
• Define CONOPS to ensure that connectivity network flows are clearly defined.
• Maintain the key sub-system level interface documentation and associated schema.
• Work with subsystem suppliers to ensure their designs meet the system-level needs.

What You’ll Need

In addition to systems engineering experience, you should have deep expertise in the following areas:

• Background in software defined networking and routing protocols.
• Strong understanding of network protocols including TCP/IP, MPLS, BGP and QoS mechanisms.
• Design of Transport Network for 5G backhaul, midhaul and fronthaul networks.
• Experience with cloud-based broadband solutions and network automation.
• Experience with router data-plane, control-plane, and management-plane implementation.
• Experience with Transport Network management and orchestration.
• Knowledge about NTN features would be appreciated.
• Experience using systems engineering software tools for requirements management and model-based systems engineering.

Where You’ll Work

• Ideally based in one of the Eutelsat Group headquarter offices within the European Union, Paris, France or Torino, Italy
• Flexible in-office and from-home remote work
• International travel required
