OVERVIEW Scorra verso il basso per una panoramica completa dei requisiti di questo lavoro. È la persona giusta per questa opportunità? We are looking for a consultant to provide advanced engineering support in the field of satellite communications, with a primary focus on the implementation of a secure satellite system. The role requires strong expertise in radio propagation modelling and link budget analysis for satellite systems (GSO and NGSO), as well as proven experience in interference assessment, coexistence studies, and system performance analysis. The successful candidate must also have an in-depth understanding of the ITU regulatory framework for satellite systems, including frequency coordination procedures, Article 22 provisions, and NGSO-to-GSO / NGSO-to-NGSO coexistence analyses. RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant will provide continuous engineering support for complex satellite coordination and compatibility studies, including: Development and implementation of detailed system models using specialised simulation tools (system geometry, RF parameters, system assumptions) Interference analysis (GSO protection under ITU Radio Regulations Article 22) NGSO–GSO compatibility studies NGSO–NGSO coexistence assessments Link budget calculations and performance evaluations System performance simulations and analysis Interpretation of simulation results and translation into engineering conclusions for regulatory coordination Preparation of technical reports, coordination inputs, and study documentation Contribution to bilateral and multilateral frequency coordination processes with national administrations Support to scenario-based studies for coordination meetings and regulatory discussions Knowledge transfer to internal teams (methodologies, assumptions, results interpretation, and tool training) TOOLS & WORKING ENVIRONMENT Work will be performed using specialised satellite system simulation tools (e.g., Visualyse or equivalent) All required software tools and licenses will be provided Hands-on experience with such tools is mandatory REQUIREMENTS Essential: University degree in Electrical / Telecommunication / Electronics Engineering or equivalent Minimum 10 years of experience in satellite communications, radio spectrum, and frequency coordination Strong hands-on experience in radio propagation modelling and link budget analysis for xrdztoy satellite systems (GSO and NGSO) Strong hands-on experience in RF interference assessment, coexistence studies, and performance analysis Solid understanding of ITU regulatory framework for satellite systems (including Article 22 and coexistence analyses) Experience with satellite system simulation tools (Visualyse or equivalent) Excellent English (spoken and written) Availability for occasional travel to meetings and regulatory discussions Desirable: Strong communication and interpersonal skills Ability to work independently and within a team WORKING ARRANGEMENTS On-site presence required at client premises in Ispra, Italy Occasional travel required for coordination meetings with national administrations and stakeholders
