Airbus Defence & Space is working on a new satellite based communication system. The constellation of satellites will offer connectivity to the customer, allowing connecting elements through satellite RF and optical links. The system consists of the space segment (geostationary satellites) and the ground segment. The Ground Segment will be composed of a set of Tools which will allow the customer to establish links and monitor the Mission execution. Such a set of tools will allow to actively manage antenna parameters as well as payload and ground channels connectivity settings in order to reach the needed coverage and performances. As a SATCOM Ground Segment System Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development, integration and validation of the System which will allow the Mission Management. The System to be developed consists of a set of Tools which allow the simulation, commanding and monitoring of the Ground Segment, as well as the overall traffic configuration. Your range of tasks will cover the entire System / Software Development lifecycle, from Requirements definition, System Design and IVV. Your activities will be performed in close cooperation with the System Engineers, the SW Architect, the SW developers and the sub-contractors.
