Job Overview

We are seeking an enthusiastic E2E Telecom System Engineer to define the architecture of our next-generation European LEO satellite communications system (IRIS²). You will collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers, develop system requirements, perform trade studies, and maintain interface definitions, ensuring the system meets purpose and quality standards. This role offers a chance to make a significant impact within a growth-oriented, team-focused organization.

Who You Are :

• You have experience as a system engineer, having architected and refined large, multi-user, bi-directional wireless communication systems, not necessarily satellite-based.
• You have worked with or for communication system component suppliers, leading design reviews.
• You possess a deep understanding of system development, integration, verification, and validation processes.
• You have 5-10 years of industry experience.

What You’ll Do :

• Define and maintain subsystem interface documentation and schemas.
• Ensure data stream consistency across interfaces to support end-to-end architecture integrity.
• Define the functional composition of the entire communications system and subsystem roles.
• Implement processes for architectural decisions and interface changes using appropriate tools.
• Manage interface coherence through the Interface Management Plan, collaborating with subsystem leaders.
• Develop CONOPS to clarify system functional flows.

What You’ll Need :

• Strong background in integrating system segments such as Payload, Mission Segment, Core Network, RAN, User Terminal, BSS, and OSS.
• Experience in adapting communications systems for satellite deployment.
• Understanding of security and data integrity protections for user data and management systems.
• Proficiency with systems engineering software tools for requirements management and model-based engineering.

Where You’ll Work :

• Preferably based at Eutelsat Group headquarters in Paris, France, or Torino, Italy.
• Flexible in-office and remote work arrangements.
