Validation Engineer

Verification Engineer | Satellite Communications Manufacturer | Lake Constance, Germany (Hybrid)

Salary: €65,000 - €80,000

An established satellite communications manufacturer on Lake Constance is growing its verification team, testing satellite modems, terminals, and network systems used in defence, air traffic control, and government networks worldwide. In this role you'll build automated test suites, apply configurations across connected devices, and verify connectivity and performance over real satellite links and emulators. You don't need a satellite background, as the team will upskill you on the RF side - what matters is solid network testing experience and a structured way of working.

What's in it for you?

• A permanent role in a growing R&D organisation, with a new LEO satellite programme underway
• Hands-on work with satellite modems, emulators, and live satellite links, with RF training provided
• Hybrid working (3 days per week on-site)
• Products used in mission-critical defence, aviation, and government networks
• A lakeside location in one of southern Germany's most attractive regions to live and work

Responsibilities

• Verify and test satellite communication products, from the modem up to full network level
• Build and maintain automated test suites in Python (PyTest) covering data communication, IP routing, and network management
• Apply and validate configurations across connected devices in lab and emulated satellite environments
• Test satellite and emulator connectivity and performance, and document the results
• Carry out error analysis and support software integration
• Support the customer support team in implementing customer requirements

Skills Required

• Several years in verification or testing of networking or communications products
• Python test automation, ideally PyTest
• Solid IP networking (TCP/IP, routing)
• English language skills

Strong Differentiators

• RF or satellite communications knowledge
• CI tools such as Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Jira
• Network management protocols (SNMP, NETCONF) and requirements traceability
