Lead Satellite Ground Stations

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced satellite ground segment specialist to lead the development and deployment of advanced Gateway Earth Station (GES) infrastructure within a next-generation LEO constellation programme. This is a senior technical leadership role responsible for end-to-end ownership of gateway earth station deployment including Ka-band tracking antennas, S-band feeder-link gateways for direct-to-device (D2D) services, RF and baseband infrastructure, and high-availability power and cooling systems. The successful candidate will act as the technical authority across site selection, civil works, gateway integration, commissioning, and operational readiness activities. You will play a critical role in shaping the evolution of next-generation NTN communications capability, supporting nationwide gateway rollout, Ka-band rain-fade mitigation strategies, and resilient ground segment infrastructure for advanced satellite broadband and D2D services. Key Responsibilities Lead end-to-end deployment of gateway earth station infrastructure from site survey through commissioning and operational handover. Manage civil works, utility integration, and construction activities across Phase 1 gateway deployment sites. Procure and integrate Ka-band tracking antennas, gateway RF systems, and baseband communications equipment. Build and commission S-band feeder-link gateway infrastructure supporting NTN and D2D communications services. Design gateway diversity and switching strategies for monsoon rain-fade mitigation and high-availability operations. Deliver resilient power and cooling infrastructure including UPS systems, DG backup, and redundancy planning to 99.999% availability targets. Essential Skills & Experience 12+ years’ experience in earth station deployment, RF infrastructure, or satellite ground segment engineering. Strong hands‑on experience with Ka-band LEO tracking antennas and gateway systems. Track record delivering multi‑site civil and RF infrastructure programmes within regulated timelines. Experience operating earth station infrastructure in tropical or monsoon environments. Familiarity with WPC, SACFA, and earth station licensing processes is preferred. Bachelor’s or postgraduate qualification in RF Engineering, Antenna Engineering, Telecommunications, Civil Engineering, or related discipline. #J-18808-Ljbffr
