Job description

(Senior) Engineer, Payload Network & Timing, meoSphere PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION: meoSphere is SES’s next-generation Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite constellation, designed to deliver secure connectivity services to government agencies, enterprises, and commercial customers. It will also provide high-speed broadband internet to eliminate global connectivity dead zones. To accelerate development timelines, reduce costs, and ensure quality, SES is internalizing a critical segment of the satellite supply chain: the final integration of partner satellite platforms with SES’s software-defined payloads, all within a cutting-edge manufacturing and test facility. ROLE DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: This role sits at the heart of a fully digital, software‑defined satellite payload . You will architect the network fabric and timing backbone that makes regenerative processing, beamforming, and inter‑satellite routing behave as a single coherent machine —with deterministic performance, timing discipline, and zero tolerance for ambiguity. If you enjoy designing systems where physics, networking, and real‑time behaviour collide , this role gives you direct ownership of one of the hardest problems in modern...
