  • Experience with and understanding of satellite-communications standards (e.g., NR NTN, DVB-S2x, CCSDS).
  • Proven ability to capture and manage requirements across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Excellent communication skills; comfortable presenting to customers and leading design reviews.
  • Fluent in English (German language skills a plus).
  • Deep understanding of RF concepts, impairments, and their impacts on system performance.
