Works in a small, self-directed team within a 150+ person engineering org, spanning embedded systems, GitOps, and CI/CD.

Filtronic · High Peak

Designs, simulates and validates RF and mmWave circuits, components and subsystems, running measurements and characterisation on prototypes and production hardware. Works with electronics, mechanical, software and systems engineers to move designs from concept into volume manufacturing, supporting RFQs and customer engagements.

Filtronic · Stockton-on-Tees

Design and lay out advanced MMICs in GaAs, GaN and InP for microwave and millimetre-wave products operating from 37GHz to 115GHz, covering LNAs, PAs, converters, attenuators and multipliers. The role spans simulation, verification, thermal and reliability analysis, foundry liaison and lab characterisation, with scope to influence technology direction and mentor engineers.

Eutelsat OneWeb · Forfar

Specify and oversee development of mission control and resource management systems for IRIS² and future satellite constellations, covering payload planning, gateway and network configuration. Work spans functional architecture, supplier RFP assessment, trade-offs across subsystems, and integration with IVV teams. Interfaces closely with service and spacecraft operations teams.

Eutelsat OneWeb · Forfar

Design, simulate and integrate 5G NTN RAN architecture, evaluating algorithms, scheduling, QoS and mobility to optimise network performance. Work with RAN vendors and subcontractors through co-engineering and integration, connecting the satellite access network and SMO with the 5G Core, transport, payload and mission operations.

Aalyria · London

Builds backend software for software-defined networking platforms that orchestrate satellite, airborne and deep-space mesh networks, working with technology originally acquired from Google. The role sits within an aerospace-focused engineering team managing communications across any radio or optical spectrum, orbit or hardware.

Aalyria · London

Join a team building laser communications and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms for aerospace, working on satellite and airborne mesh networks plus cislunar and deep-space communications. The role centres on orchestrating and managing planetary mesh networks across any radio or optical spectrum, orbit, or hardware spanning land, sea, air and space.

Eutelsat OneWeb · Issy-Les-Moulineaux, United Kingdom

Develops, validates and maintains in-house system performance simulators for next-generation satellite communication systems, running end-to-end modelling analyses to inform payload, platform and ground network design. Works within the End-to-End Systems Engineering organisation alongside architecture, software and commercial teams, using Julia or Python plus MATLAB, C++ or SQL, and presenting results to technical and non-technical audiences.
