Main missions

The tasks will include:

• Contribution to the definition of future satellite telecommunication systems in concurrent engineering with antenna, payload and satellite teams
• Assessment of system performances (capacity, availability, typical link budgets, compliance to traffic demand profile, sensibility analyses,…) with the guidance of an experienced expert
• Proposal of solutions to technical tradeoffs in compliance with end-to-end system requirements (coverage, services, connectivity, frequency bands, …), benchmarking them against existing systems to contribute to progress in the field
• Definition and run of simulations using either in-house developed or commercial tools (Matlab, STK, NS2, …) to characterize the system according to customer demand
  
• Interface with the engineering department in charge of tools development and maintenance (including definition and specification of the new required functions to be implemented, you could also prepare the evolution of the tools in cooperation with the engineering teams)
• You may also interface with customers during to get a better understanding of requirements, and have the opportunity to present and justify the achieved results.
• The type of satellite projects for which such Telecom System support is requested can be any type of telecom systems, GEO, but also on Lower Orbit.
• To perform your mission, you will get the support of the telecom experts within the Telecom Satellite Systems Projects group and of the simulation & optimization team.
• You will also have to interface with the project team members and more particularly with the payload, antenna and satellite engineers, and with the ground segment team.
• Depending on projects and proposals, some business trips may be required (typ. 1 or 2 days for instance in customer premises).
