Do you have a SATCOM and/or Space Networks Engineering background and a strong interest in Space-based Networks, and want to bring your skills to our leading industry and government clients? If you, like us, believe in the ingenuity of teams and technologies to create lasting value for the world, the Space Networks industry, and our clients, we would be delighted to hear from you.

You will support our clients to thrive in a changing industry  
As space-based networks become ever more important for businesses, communities and governments, our clients are experiencing an incomparable period of rapid change, with new dimensions of competition, new technologies, new standards and ecosystems and new threats and opportunities. This environment creates the need for consultancy to support and enable our clients to thrive and means that we are looking to grow our established team with an exceptional new consultant.

Our Networks Team Make A Difference
Our Networks team supports government and commercial clients to deliver end-to-end solutions, from strategy and technological development to engineering, procurement, and delivery of space-based systems. We work at the cutting edge of SATCOM and Space networks, helping our clients stay ahead in an ever-changing landscape, such as:

• Procurement, system design and engineering of UK MOD’s future satellite communications services – a £6bn critical national programme
• Design and delivery of cutting-edge Space Network solutions that capture the benefits of emerging technologies.
• System design and development of SATCOM terminal equipment 
• Developing and advising on hybrid networks combining terrestrial and space systems, hybrid between operators, hybrid hardware and more.

As a consultant in SATCOM and Space Networks, you will be working on projects with true impact on everyday life, delivering game changing solutions. We are looking for an individual with capabilities in SATCOM and space who will bring ingenuity and enthusiasm to the team to make a difference.

• The ideal candidate will have proven experience in one or more aspects of the design, specification and development of Space based networks, with a background in engineering of telecoms systems, at Masters degree or above, or the equivalent of time in industry.

You will be able to demonstrate experience of applying system engineering, solution / service design, development and management.
• As a client facing role, you will be expected to engage and present to clients and therefore will be a strong communicator (verbal and written), able to highlight recommendations and insights.
• We know the industry skills-gap and ‘the inherent need to ‘tick every box’ can get in the way of meeting brilliant candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply – we’d love to hear from you.
• For defence projects, our clients require UK nationality and security clearance.

Flexible working - we are guided by our client work and needs; however, you have autonomy to manage your time and diary to suit your work/life balance

We like to recruit lots of great people into this role, across all ranks. You will see this
advertised year-round and will be individually reviewed by our recruiting team who will reach out to you dependant on your suitability at this time or in the future!
