Frequency Coordination and management officer (m/f/d)

For permanent employment the Telecommunications Satellite department at OHB System AG in Bremen is looking for a

Frequency Coordination and management officer (m/f/d)

To enhance OHB’s position as a telecommunications systems provider, we are seeking a System Engineer for Frequency Coordination. Your primary responsibility will be to assess the filing status for project-specific use cases and devise optimal strategies for successful frequency coordination. As the project progresses to the implementation phase, you will oversee the filing process with the relevant regulatory bodies. This role demands a high level of interdisciplinary collaboration with the payload technical team, project management and business development.
Your Tasks
Proposal phase:
Assessment of customer requests
Evaluate the incumbent filing status using the ITU database
Identify potential conflict forfuture coordination activities
Determine the expected coordination limits per orbital position (GEO) or constellation plane (LEO/MEO) coming from other satellite systems, considering available bandwidth, allowable uplink/downlink power flux densities and regional coverages.
Assess the anticipated uplink/downlink ASI (adjacent satellite interference) from other satellite systems
Perform link budget analyses (utilizing OHB in-house tools) to determine system capacity i.e. overall aggregated data rates
Implementation phase:
Prepare the frequency filing using ITU software tools and forms for advance publication (API) and coordination request (CR/C)
Interface with the regulatory bodies throughout the coordination phase
Manage coordination cases originating from other operators
Perform notification and Bring-into-Use formalities
Assist in frequency filings for ground stations and terminals
Operational phase:
Negotiate frequency sharing with other operators on non-interference basis for any unresolved coordination cases
Protect own frequency filing and coordination results against any new filings
Your Qualifications
Master’s degree in RF or communication engineering, or equivalent qualification
Excellent understanding of the space-to-ground link, its key parameters and potential interference sources in the uplink and downlink
Knowledge of current standards (e.g. DVB-S2X, RCS) and emerging standards (e.g. 5G/6G NTN) for satellite communications
Work experience in systems engineering is desirable
Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively within a team
Very good knowledge of the English language
