Research & Innovation Engineer (NTN)

Role Mission

To drive research and development in Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), focusing on the integration of satellite communication systems with 5G and future 6G networks. This role will explore novel architectures and solutions for providing ubiquitous and resilient connectivity.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform research on NTN-specific wireless algorithms and techniques (e.g. regenerative payload, Doppler compensation, DU/CU handovers) for 5G/6G RAN stack

• Deal with satellite systems and their integration with terrestrial networks

• Track/analyze relevant industry standards relevant to NTN

• Design and simulate NTN scenarios, evaluating performance and identifying challenges.

• Collaborate with internal and external partners on NTN-related projects.

• Investigate the application of NTN in special purpose systems (e.g., tactical communications, FRMCS, mission-critical).

Requirements

• Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer/Telecommunication Engineering

• Strong background in 5G/6G networks.

• Good understanding of satellite systems and relevant standards (3GPP)

• Experience in NTN simulation tool(s)

• Good command of English.

Nice-to-Have

• Understanding of special purpose communication systems (the use of NTN with tactical, FRMCS, MCX solutions)
