    Your role in the team

    • We are seeking a Network Optimization & AI/ML Engineer to develop optimization models, algorithms, and data-driven techniques for routing path selection, traffic engineering, capacity allocation, prediction, and autonomous network behavior in a multi-orbit satellite communications environment.
    • This role sits at the intersection of operations research, graph algorithms, machine learning, AI-driven decision support, and network engineering.
    • The position is ideal for someone who can transform complex network and constellation constraints into practical algorithms that improve latency, capacity utilization, resilience, and operational efficiency.
    • Formuliere Optimierungsprobleme für die Auswahl von Routing-Pfaden, Traffic Engineering, Ressourcenallokation, Stauvermeidung und Service-Qualitätssicherung.
    • Develop algorithms for dynamic, multi-layer satellite-terrestrial network scenarios with changing topology, demand, failures, and operational constraints.
    • Apply AI and machine learning techniques for traffic prediction, anomaly detection, failure mitigation, self-optimization, and decision support.
    • Build prototypes and evaluation pipelines to compare optimization strategies against baseline routing and control-plane approaches.
    • Work with architecture, simulation, control-plane, software, and validation teams to integrate algorithms into experimental and production-oriented workflows.
    • Define objective functions, constraints, metrics, data requirements, and validation approaches for algorithmic network optimization.
    • Analyze trade-offs across latency, throughput, availability, fairness, capacity, security, and operational complexity.
    • Document mathematical models, assumptions, performance results, and implementation guidance for technical and programme stakeholders.
