Senior Spectrum Systems Engineer Verified today
About the role
The Satcom team is responsible for the design, delivery and performance of Open Cosmos' satellite communications services, spanning the space segment, ground infrastructure and global connectivity.
As Senior Spectrum Systems Engineer you will take the lead on translating spectrum regulations into system design, using modelling and simulation to ensure compliance without compromising performance.
What you will do
- Translate regulatory constraints (EPFD, PFD, EIRP) into system and sub-system requirements
- Build and own end-to-end simulation models for interference and spectrum compliance
- Define system design limits (design-to-compliance) for payload and user terminals
- Model interference, coexistence, and mitigation strategies across constellations
- Produce high-quality datasets to support ITU filings and coordination
- Lead verification and validation of spectrum compliance (ground and in-orbit)
- Shape spectrum usage strategies (frequency reuse, beam hopping, power control)
- Support external regulatory engagement (ITU-R, WRC) with simulation-backed insight
What you will bring
- Strong systems engineering fundamentals (requirements, V&V), ideally in an MBSE environment
- Deep understanding of RF spectrum compliance (EPFD, PFD, EIRP, emissions)
- Experience with tools like Visualyse EPFD, STK, or similar
- Strong Python or MATLAB skills for simulation and analysis
- Solid understanding of LEO systems, link budgets, and orbital dynamics
- Knowledge of ITU-R regulations and NGSO systems
- Familiarity with DVB-S2X, 3GPP NTN, or similar standards
