Support the integration of 5G NTN system components
Participate in integration, verification, and validation activities for system elements in lab, pre-production, and operational test environments
Install, configure, and validate operating systems, virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes clusters required to host NTN network functions and supporting applications
Verify proper deployment, configuration, and interoperability of network functions across distributed and cloud-native environments
Validate network interfaces and procedures across the full system chain
Ensure traceability between requirements, test cases, execution evidence, and validation outcomes
Prepare and validate test configurations, software baselines, deployment packages, and environment-specific parameter sets
Support defect tracking, prioritisation, retest activities, and closure verification
Requirements
Master’s degree in Telecommunications, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline
Minimum of 5 years of experience in telecom systems integration, testing, or IVV, ideally within 5G, mobile core, RAN, satellite communications, or cloud-native network environments
Experience in end-to-end testing and validation of complex telecom systems is strongly preferred
Exposure to 5G NTN, satellite communications, or non-terrestrial networking concepts would be a strong advantage
Understanding of 5G system architecture and how NTN is integrated into the end-to-end mobile network
Familiarity with NTN-enabled RAN architecture, including key functional entities, deployment models, and interface behaviour
Knowledge of access-related procedures such as registration, session establishment, mobility, bearer/service continuity, and timing-sensitive operations in NTN environments
Familiarity with tools and techniques for protocol analysis, log collection, trace review, KPI observation, and fault isolation in complex network environments
Understanding of scripting and automated test orchestration approaches for repeatable validation
