Senior 5G Systems Engineer (NTN ,Ground & Access)

* Location: London (Hybrid/UK-remote considered)

* Type: Permanent

* Salary: Competitive + benefits

You’ll lead the build-out of a cloud-native 5G RAN for a new satellite constellation, joining a small senior team working at the intersection of space and telecom.

The Impact

Design and integrate a standards-compliant satellite RAN (gNB/DU/CU) and the ground access layer, adapting terrestrial 5G for non-terrestrial networks (NTN). You’ll drive performance, reliability and security end-to-end across space and ground segments.

What you’ll do

* Lead design/integration of a 5G satellite RAN and ground access

* Champion scalability, security, interoperability and regulatory compliance

What you’ll bring

* 5+ years in 5G RAN development/integration (NR, 3GPP, gNB/DU/CU)

* Cloud-native telecom, microservices, containers, Kubernetes

* Solid IP networking (routing/switching/security) & scripting (Python/Bash)

* RF/link-budget awareness and comfort across PHY/MAC and system level

Desirable Skills

* NTN or satellite ground systems (antennas, modems, RF) experience

* Exposure to 5G Core and automated telco orchestration at scale

* Security for mission-critical telco, constellation ops/orbital dynamics

Why Join?

* Own meaningful chunks of a first-wave network

* Work with senior operators

* High autonomy, real impact, modern stack
