IRIS2 Physical layer System Architect (Paris/Turin)

Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled system architect to join our team and play a critical role in defining the end-to-end system architecture of our next generation European LEO satellite communications system (IRIS²). In this position, you’ll work closely with internal engineers, architects, product and business development managers, and external suppliers, leading the development of system components. You will write technical requirements, perform system trade studies, define the concept of operations, and maintain the technical baseline, including all interface definitions. You will work closely with the program and the Integration & Test team to ensure that the system is developed and fit for purpose. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact within an organization that values growth, teamwork, and professional development.

Who You Are

• You’re a system engineer who’s architected and followed the deployment and refinement of at least one large multi-user, bi-directional wireless communications system. This doesn’t have to be a satellite-based system.
• You’ve worked with or for comms system component suppliers, leading design reviews from either the supplier or customer side.
• You have a deep understanding and experience in the system development, integration, verification, and validation process.
• Possess 5-10 years of industry work experience

What You’ll Do

• Participate in the definition of the end-to-end system Architecture and the associated documentation: Design Definition File and Design Justification File for the justification of the design choices
• Perform system trade-off analysis, including physical layer design trade-offs (air interfaces, time management, and inter-segment trade-offs related to physical layer)
• Define and implement processes for making and tracking key architectural decisions and changes using selected tools
• Collaborate with the engineering tools manager to develop the functional architecture model and methodology, and coordinate functional architecture activities within the architecture team
• Work with the interface manager for the consistency of the overall model
• Collaborate with payload, UT and GW teams on main physical layer related trade-offs and make relevant decisions
• Define CONOPS to ensure system functional flows are clearly defined
• Contribute to system requirements writing for the topics you are in charge of

What You’ll Need

As well as systems engineering experience, you should have deep expertise and prior experience in the following areas:

• Strong background in the integration of all system segments including Payload, Mission Segment, Core Network, RAN, Core Network, User Terminal, BSS and OSS
• Experience in adaptations of communications systems for satellite deployments
• Understanding of security / integrity protection both of User Data and the control / management systems
• Knowledge about NTN features would be appreciated
• Experience using various systems engineering software tools for requirements management and model-based systems engineering

Where You’ll Work

• Ideally based in one of the Eutelsat Group headquarter offices within the European Union, Paris, France or Torino, Italy
• Flexible in-office and from-home remote work
