Job description

Technical Sales Director – 5G / NTN / Wireless Systems

Southampton | Hybrid

There are not many companies in the UK genuinely operating at the sharp end of 5G PHY, satellite communications and next‑generation wireless infrastructure. This is one of them.

The business develops advanced 5G NR physical layer IP deployed within FPGA and ASIC platforms for terrestrial 5G, satellite communications, NTN and defence applications. Their technology is already gaining serious traction across the wireless and space sectors, supported by major funding rounds, strategic partnerships and a rapidly growing international customer base.

They are now looking to hire a Technical Sales Director to lead commercial engagement across Europe. This is not a generic sales role. The position sits right at the intersection of:

• wireless systems engineering
• FPGA / ASIC implementation
• satellite & NTN communications

You will be responsible for helping customers translate complex technical requirements into commercially viable solutions, shaping proposals, supporting evaluations and ultimately helping win high‑value IP licensing business across Europe.

The ideal background is likely to include some of the below:

• strong record of success in technical sales of 5G NR / SATCOMs products / IP
• semiconductor IP or wireless infrastructure
• FPGA / ASIC implementation knowledge
• technical pre‑sales or applications engineering
• customer‑facing experience within telecoms, satellite or defence sectors

Exposure to NTN, O‑RAN, satellite communications or wireless baseband systems would be highly beneficial.

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected engineering‑led business operating in one of the fastest‑moving areas of the global communications market.
