About the team & this role

The Network Integration & Validation team leads Proofs of Concept (PoCs) with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) worldwide, validating how Sateliot's NTN and IPX services integrate into live 5G networks. This is a junior role, ideal for an early-career telecom engineer who wants hands-on exposure to real MNO integrations, lab and field testing, and end-to-end service validation — with the support of senior engineers on the team.

What you'll do

• Support and help manage Proofs of Concept (PoCs) with Mobile Network Operators, both in the lab and, when required, on-site in the MNO's country.

• Provide technical support during MNO integration processes, including IPX and NTN network elements.

• Execute test passes and service validations, ensuring alignment with integration requirements.

• Analyze and report test results, identify anomalies, and help propose technical solutions.

• Collaborate with internal engineering, product, and operations teams to resolve technical blockers during integration.

• Contribute to documentation of procedures, integration steps, and lessons learned from each MNO onboarding.

• Act as a technical point of contact with MNO technical teams during integration and validation activities, under the guidance of senior team members.

What you bring

• Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (or final-year student / recent graduate).

• Familiarity with IPX networks, 5G networks, roaming setup, and interconnection models (through coursework, internships, or early professional experience).

• Basic knowledge of IP networking protocols (IPv4/IPv6, DNS, routing, VPN).

• Exposure to testbeds and telecom monitoring tools (e.g., Wireshark, protocol analyzers).

• Basic Linux user skills.

• Strong communication and coordination skills — you'll work with international MNOs and technical partners.

• Analytical and troubleshooting mindset applied to telecom environments.

• Ability to manage tasks independently and juggle parallel technical activities.

• Availability to travel when needed for PoCs and integration projects abroad.

• Good level of English (spoken and written); additional languages are a plus.

Preferred experience:

• Understanding of mobile and satellite communication protocols, including NB-IoT, LTE-M, 3GPP NTN, and LEO technologies.

Additional requirements

• English proficiency: professional working proficiency in written and spoken English.

• Location: based in Barcelona; hybrid work model.

• Operational availability: occasional travel abroad for PoCs and MNO integration activities.
