Your mission
Shape the Future of Space & Mobility
UNIO is revolutionizing mobility with seamless space-based connectivity. We are scaling an early-stage venture at the forefront of SpaceTech and currently seeking a Cellular Wireless Expert to join us.
You will lead the development of an end-to-end Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) – Terrestrial Network (TN) communications solution for commercial and dual-use land mobility applications. Directly reporting to the CTO, You will work cross-functionally across the technical and commercial teams.
Your scope of activities :
* Architect and develop a hybrid satellite-terrestrial (i.e., NTN-TN) communication solution for mobility use cases, ensuring seamless interoperability;
* Translate and integrate 3GPP standards Release 17+ NTN specifications into wireless system architectures;
* Design and optimize radio access (RAN), core and transport network components supporting adaptive, low-latency and high throughput ubiquitous connectivity;
* Implement networking strategies for LEO/MEO/GEO satellite constellations with 5G/LTE/RedCap cellular networks;
* Work with AI/ML engineers enabling intelligent network selection, predictive handovers and adaptive beam management;
* Develop and optimize NTN-TN spectrum sharing, interference mitigation and beamforming strategies;
* Conduct lab and field testing, including OTA (Over-The-Air) and real-world drive testing for NTN-TN interoperability;
* Work with regulatory bodies, industry groups (i.e., 5GAA) and cross-functional teams to align solutions with global standards targeting both the dual-use and commercial market ecosystem;
* Work closely with hardware, software and AI teams while maintaining detailed technical documentation (i.e., GitHub);
* Gather and prioritize customer and external stakeholder feedback enhancing product features and performance and end-to-end product usability;
* Act as the primary point of contact for all topics related to cellular wireless solutions development and deployment across our customer ecosystem while ensuring stakeholder alignment on objectives, timelines and deliverables;
* Monitor product performance and iterate, with the direct support of the development teams, enhancements and future evolutions based upon data-driven insights; and
* Lead and mentor UNIO’s interns hand-in-hand across the topics of 4G/5G/LTE across LEO/MEO/GEO NTN-TN connectivity including regular one-on-one meetings, setting and reviewing performance objectives and milestones and ensuring smooth interactions across team members.
