Overview

As a Ground Segment Antenna Engineer you join a multidisciplinary team to design and evolve ground segment infrastructures for satellite missions. You will help define robust antenna subsystems and contribute to mission-critical communications between space and ground assets. Your work supports institutional and commercial customers, including Galileo, with a focus on performance, reliability, and technical feasibility. This role offers hands-on engineering with cross-functional collaboration and opportunities to influence future ground station architectures.
