The research group "Integrated Satellite Systems" is part of the Satellite Networks department and deals with the design and development of new concepts for satellite-based secure communication systems and their integration with other systems in an application-oriented approach. In particular, the systems under consideration cover the entire application spectrum of satellite communication in the context of the integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) in 5G/6G networks, e.g. mobile and broadband satellite systems, systems for commercial or sovereign applications, IoT and edge computing applications.

In the "Integrated Satellite Systems" group, you will be responsible for the development of complex protocols and algorithms for integrated 5G/6G satellite communications (especially LEO satellites), with a focus on protocol security for 3GPP NG-RAN, DVB, and higher protocol layers (e.g., TCP, IP, QUIC, http, etc.).

Ideally, you have extensive knowledge and experience in protocol design, for the development of protocols and algorithms in C++, among others, for the specific application areas of satellite communications and mobile communications (i.e. 5G RAN and 5G architecture everywhere).

The tasks essentially include:

  • conceptual preparation, planning and execution of research tasks for satellite communications, system modelling and system simulation
  • design of secure protocols and algorithms (NG-RAN, network layer, transport layer, edge computing, etc.) for integrated 5G (and 6G) satellite communications, comparison of design trade-offs
  • design and realisation of demonstration and test systems
  • carrying out performance simulations and validating the results obtained
  • publication in scientific journals and presentation at international conferences

Our offer to you: the opportunity to work on innovative research projects with state-of-the-art technology in an ambitious international environment. Flexible working hours are part of our offer to you, including an individual agreement for mobile working.

Your qualifications:

  • completed scientific university degree (Master's/Diploma Uni) in engineering (e.g. electrical engineering, information technology or communications engineering) or other degree programmes relevant to the position
  • comprehensive knowledge and many years of professional experience in the field of communications engineering, especially in the field of communication networks, as well as good knowledge of satellite communication
  • very good knowledge and many years of experience in the field of cybersecurity, protocol design and secure protocols for satellite and 5G-based systems, as well as demonstrable knowledge of 5G RAN protocols and the 5G network architecture
  • very good C++ knowledge combined with many years of professional experience in the areas of software engineering, communication protocols, and network simulation / system simulation
  • practical experience with Linux or FreeBSD operating systems
  • experience in publishing and presenting scientific research results
  • very good command of English

Your benefits:

Look forward to a fulfilling job with an employer who appreciates your commitment and supports your personal and professional development. Our unique infrastructure offers you a working environment in which you have unparalleled scope to develop your creative ideas and accomplish your professional objectives. Our human resources policy places great value on a healthy family and work-life-balance as well as equal opportunities for persons of all genders (f/m/x). Individuals with disabilities will be given preferential consideration in the event their qualifications are equivalent to those of other candidates.
