Network Payload System Engineer (m/f/d) - #2203257

Proposal phase:

• Evaluate the current filing status using the ITU database
• Identify critical coordination cases
• Determine the expected coordination limits per orbital position (GEO) or constellation plane (LEO/MEO) coming from other satellite systems, considering available bandwidth, allowable uplink/downlink power flux densities and regional coverages
• Assess the anticipated uplink/downlink ASI (adjacent satellite interference) from other satellite systems
• Perform link budget analyses (utilizing OHB in-house tools) to determine system capacity i.e. overall aggregated data rates

Implementation phase:

• Prepare the frequency filing using ITU software and forms for advance publication (API) and coordination request (CR/C)
• Interface with the regulatory bodies throughout the coordination phase
• Manage coordination cases originating from other operators
• Perform notification and Bring-into-Use formalities
• Assist in frequency filings for ground stations and terminals

Operational phase:

• Negotiate frequency sharing with other operators on non-interference basis for any unresolved coordination cases
• Protect own frequency filing and coordination results against any new filings

• Master’s degree in RF or communication engineering, or equivalent qualification
• Excellent understanding of the space-to-ground link, its key parameters and potential interference sources in the uplink and downlink
• Knowledge of current standards (e.g. DVB-S2X, RCS) and emerging standards (e.g. 5G/6G NTN) for satellite communications
• Experience in systems engineering is desirable
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively within a team
• Very good knowledge of the English language
