Job Summary
In this role, you will develop simulations and digital twins for satellite networks, analyze routing and traffic strategies, evaluate SDN system performance, and conduct repeatable experiments to validate design assumptions.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- We are seeking a Satellite Network Simulation & Emulation Engineer to build and operate simulation, emulation, and digital twin environments dedicated to the networking aspects of the IRIS² and MEO programme architecture.
- This role works closely with constellation simulation teams while focusing specifically on routing, traffic engineering, SDN control-plane behavior, data-plane performance, congestion, failures, and service validation using networking tools and statistically rigorous evaluation methods.
- Develop simulation, emulation, and digital twin frameworks for constellation-scale network experimentation across space and ground segments.
- Model dynamic satellite topologies, inter-satellite links, gateway connectivity, user traffic, failures, congestion, and service scenarios.
- Support evaluation of routing algorithms, SDN control-plane behavior, data-plane performance, traffic engineering strategies, congestion control, and resilience mechanisms.
- Build repeatable experiments and digital twin workflows for comparing architecture options and validating design assumptions.
- Integrate network simulation activities with constellation-level simulation teams, software teams, and validation environments.
- Define metrics, test scenarios, traffic models, data collection methods, and analysis procedures for network performance studies.
- Automate experiment execution, result processing, visualization, and reporting for technical stakeholders.
- Support transition from simulated scenarios to lab emulation, integration testing, and production validation planning.
