Working in the Satcom Team
The Satcom Team is responsible for modelling, simulating, and continuously optimising the performance of Open Cosmos’ satellite communication infrastructure. This includes the space segment, inter-satellite links, terminals, and ground connectivity, ensuring our end-to-end systems deliver reliable, efficient, and scalable service under dynamic conditions.
We work with cutting‑edge technologies such as digital twins, autonomous networks, and large‑scale constellation models. The team plays a key role in design validation, mission planning, and performance‑driven engineering decision‑making.
What will you be doing?
As a Verification & Validation Engineer, you will ensure Satcom systems meet mission‑critical requirements through continuous, automated validation embedded into agile delivery.
You will:




- Translate high‑level system requirements into automated tests that run continuously within our CI/CD pipelines.
- Contribute to agile planning and refinement, defining testable acceptance criteria before features are implemented.
- Develop complex validation scenarios incrementally, aligned with evolving system capabilities.
- Write robust, reusable Python test code using internal automated test frameworks to validate complex system behaviour.
- Execute automated tests seamlessly across Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SIL) and Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) environments.
- Investigate and debug failed tests, working directly with engineers to resolve issues within sprint cycles.
- Maintain automated performance and regression test suites, identifying degradations in throughput, latency, or stability immediately after release.
- Collaborate with the Test Automation Framework team to evolve testing tools, improving tes
