Three quarters of this SATCOM role is off-site. The quarter that is not is in Belgium, working on the satellite links the Alliance depends on. You will provide SATCOM engineering support across UHF and SHF — link budgets, RF and antenna work, architecture and project proposals — for an international defence organisation, alongside its operational commands. What you will be doing
* Engineering support across SATCOM systems in the UHF and SHF domains
* Link budget analysis, modulation and coding choices, and satellite network topology work
* RF and antenna engineering, including propagation modelling in SATCOM bands
* Applying SATCOM cybersecurity architecture principles, including encryption and secure communications design
* Building detailed technical project proposals aligned to operational requirements and interoperability standards
* Service management work — incident and problem handling — in an operational or control-centre setting What you will need
* A degree in telecommunications, electronics or SATCOM engineering with two years of related experience, or higher vocational training with five
* At least three years of practical SATCOM experience across UHF and SHF

* Strong RF and antenna engineering, with propagation modelling in SATCOM frequency bands
* Familiarity with DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X, MIL-STD-188, and Software Defined Networking in SATCOM environments
* English at C1 Worth knowing before you apply
* The split is 25% on-site, 75% off-site — genuine flexibility, but the on-site quarter is not optional
* The current site near Brussels closes during 2027; performance moves to Brussels or Mons, so the role expects you to move with it Practical detail
* Contract engagement, base period starting no later than 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2026, with two option years Your CV may not be up to date — that is not a problem, send me whatever you have and I will come back to you either way.
