Systems Engineering Specialist
About the role
Position Overview
We are seeking a System Engineering specialist to support system-level design, requirements definition, and—critically—integration activities across R&D development projects.
This role sits at the intersection of architecture and implementation. The successful candidate will help translate system concepts into actionable requirements, support development teams during design and bring-up, and actively participate in end-to-end system integration, debugging, and validation.
Key Responsibilities
Define system-level architectures, interfaces, and specifications for hub and terminal subsystems. Perform end-to-end system analysis of DVB-RCS2 / DVB-S2X technologies, including traffic flows, timing, QoS, and synchronization. Participate in the integration and validation of new features (e.g. mobility, SDN/VNF, MEC, encryption, cloud integration). Support hub and modem development through modeling, simulation, and lab testing. Develop and maintain system requirements, sequence diagrams, and test plans, ensuring traceability from design to verification. Conduct lab-based troubleshooting and experimentation using RF, baseband, and networking tools. Contribute to automation and test scripts for system-level regression and performance validation. Collaborate closely with HW, FPGA, DSP, and software teams to ensure alignment with system intent and performance objectives. Prepare technical documentation and specifications for internal use and selected external stakeholders
Knowledge And Experience
Solid understanding of satellite and wireless communication systems, including modulation, coding, synchronization, propagation, and resource control. Strong familiarity with DVB-S2X / DVB-RCS2 or similar standards. Strong foundation in IP networking, including routing, switching, QoS, acceleration techniques, SDN, and virtualization. Hands-on experience with Linux-based systems and lab environments, including traffic generation, network traffic analysis, and system-level troubleshooting. Familiarity with scripting and automation tools to support system integration and validation activities is an asset. Experience with cellular backhauling, Metro Ethernet (MEF 3.0), or SD-WAN is an asset. Hands-on experience in telecom lab environments, integrating routers, modems, and network analyzers. Working knowledge of security and encryption mechanisms. Familiarity with NMS/EMS, OSS/BSS, and accounting systems is an asset. Exposure to cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, virtualization, containerization) is a plus. Interest or exposure to AI/ML, IoT, MEC, or NFV technologies is beneficial.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer, Telecommunications, or Networking Engineering. Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in satellite, telecom, or advanced networking R&D. Proven ability to produce clear technical documentation and analysis reports. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication skills in English. Self-driven, collaborative, and comfortable working in an R&D-focused environment.
