Senior System Validation Engineer (SerDes)

We are seeking a Senior System Validation Engineer with a strong emphasis on high-speed SerDes technologies. In this role, you will work across control and data-processing hardware/software, as well as PHY, RF, and firmware elements, to validate a full end-to-end communication system supporting DVB-S2X and additional Radio/IP communication protocols.

This position offers an exciting opportunity to be part of the rapidly changing satellite communications landscape, which is currently undergoing major technological disruption.

• Execute system-level validation activities covering PHY, hardware, and software components
• Apply proven expertise in the design, validation, and delivery of high-speed SerDes IP (multi-gigabit link performance)
• Review system architecture and requirements; contribute to creating thorough test plans with system engineering and other technical teams
• Develop automated test plans and detailed test procedures for new features and systems
• Build and maintain test setups supporting both automated regression and manual validation
• Work hands-on in integration, bring-up, debugging, and enabling new features/products within satellite communication systems
• Log, investigate, and analyze observed defects
• Perform root-cause analysis of test failures and collaborate closely with development teams to define corrective actions
• Support test management tools and maintain involvement in continuous integration practices
• Conduct detailed data analysis and post-processing of collected measurement results
• Prepare regular summaries, reports, and performance metrics for test execution

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in system validation
• Strong experience validating complex HW/SW/embedded systems in a lab environment
• Solid understanding of RF physical-layer testing with hands-on use of RF lab instruments (Spectrum Analyzers, VNAs, Signal Generators, power meters, high-speed scopes, etc.)
• Experience developing automation for validation workflows; proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C#, C++, etc.
• Experience testing IP networking systems (routers, network processors) with good knowledge of IP communication protocols and network performance behavior
• Background in planning, estimating, and developing comprehensive system tests
• Familiarity with defect-tracking and documentation platforms (preferably JIRA and Confluence)
• Strong self-learning ability and adaptability to new technologies
• Independent, highly motivated, capable of multitasking, and a strong team player
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
