Job description

At VersoSat, we are redefining the future of satellite communications!

Incubated by ESA BIC Brindisi, previously by PoliHub, and accelerated by Zest (CDP), we are enabling real‑time satellite communications for the natural disaster detection, emergency management, space monitoring and defence sectors.

With us, you will take ownership of the core technology that turns satellite data into immediate, decisive action on the ground. If you're ready to see your work directly impact global events, your mission begins here.

Responsibilities

• DSP Algorithm Development: Design, simulation and optimization of digital signal processing algorithms for communication systems using MATLAB/Simulink (filters, modulation/demodulation, synchronization, equalization).
• Statistical Signal Processing: Development and validation of statistical estimation algorithms (e.g., DOA estimation, SNR estimation, spectrum estimation).
• HW/SW Collaboration: Work closely with FPGA and embedded software engineers to define algorithm specifications and interface requirements.
• System Validation & Testing: Perform system‑level simulations to verify performance against project requirements and identify potential improvements.
• Documentation: Prepare technical reports, simulation models and automated testing scripts to support the development process.

Essential Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications or a related field.
• Proven experience in MATLAB/Simulink for DSP simulations.
• Strong understanding of digital communication principles (modulation, coding, synchronization, filtering).
• Solid background in statistical signal processing and parameter estimation (e.g., DOA, SNR, PSD).
• Experience in algorithm optimization, verification and validation.
• Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team with FPGA and embedded software engineers.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Python for simulation automation and testing.
• Knowledge of RF or satellite communication protocols.
• Basic understanding of FPGA/RTL constraints to support HW implementation.
• Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git).
• Prior experience in system‑level simulations for communication systems.

Why VersoSat?

• Real Impact, Not Just a Role: You will have direct responsibility for foundational projects. You won't be just a cog in the machine, but an essential part of building the future of space communications.
• Accelerated Professional Growth: Join a stimulating technical environment in a high‑growth startup, where you can learn and build a career working with cutting‑edge technologies.
• Competitive Compensation & Ownership: A minimum RAL of €32k, significantly above the local market average, plus a stock option plan.
• Work‑Life Balance: Benefit from a hybrid work model with flexible hours and smart working options, designed to help you achieve an optimal work‑life balance.

If you are ready to build systems that turn data into a decisive advantage, your mission begins here.
