Description of the job

A vacancy for an IoT and 5G Networks and System Engineer (m/f) has arisen within Airbus Defence and Space in Toulouse. You will join the Telecom Systems (TSTI2) department, whose main role is to promote the use of application services through satellites (GEO or LEO).

This will involve actions of technological monitoring of the field (R&D), the design of innovative solutions up to their implementation as demonstrators (proof of concept). For this, the department has set up a BLUELab laboratory equipped with a set of hardware elements and software which is specific to this field, enabling the implementation of the demonstration bench in order to validate the feasibility of communication systems.

The targeted telecommunication applications include fixed or mobile broadband/broadcast, and more recently M2M (IoT) and 5G.

As a Networks and System Engineer, you will be in charge of projects including telecommunication satellites and R&D projects. You will in particular work on M2M/IoT and 5G communication systems.
