Core Integration Delivery Lead

Core Integration Delivery Lead – 5G Core Software

E‑Space is building a highly advanced low‑Earth‑orbit space system that will transform satellite and terrestrial IoT solutions. We are seeking a Core Integration Delivery Lead to drive end‑to‑end delivery of our 5G Core software integration workstream.

• Own the integration delivery roadmap for the 5G Core software workstream: maintain the master schedule, track milestones, and surface dependencies across internal engineering teams, back‑end platform vendors, and third‑party suppliers.
• Coordinate among core software, systems engineering, integration test, and BSS/OSS integration teams to align on interface readiness, integration sequencing, and release gate criteria.
• Manage vendor and supplier relationships: track contractual commitments, hold vendors to delivery schedules, and elevate risks when timelines or quality are at risk.
• Maintain a live view of integration dependencies: identify critical path items, flag risks before they become delays, and own the action log that drives resolution.
• Run structured integration planning cadences: weekly sync, milestone readiness reviews, and go/no‑go gates at each phase boundary.
• Own integration status reporting to senior stakeholders—clear, concise, actionable; surface what is on track, at risk, and decision points.
• Track interface readiness: ensure API specifications, test harnesses, and acceptance criteria are in place before milestones.
• Collaborate with systems engineering and test teams to maintain traceability between requirements, interface specifications, and integration test coverage.
• Drive post‑milestone retrospectives; capture lessons learned and feed them into the next phase plan.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of experience in technical delivery, integration management, or engineering program leadership in telecom, networking, or satellite systems.
• Technical depth in mobile core networks or telecom software systems sufficient to engage credibly with engineers and vendors.
• Experience managing multi‑vendor integration programmes: tracking supplier commitments, resolving dependency conflicts, and holding external parties accountable.
• Strong dependency and risk‑management discipline.
• Experience coordinating across multiple engineering teams (systems, software, test, platform) with differing cadences and priorities.
• Clear, structured communication: concise status reports and decisive review meetings.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and adapting plans as technical realities change.

• Hands‑on background in 5G Core, LTE EPC, or telecom software integration.
• Experience managing integration delivery in a satellite or non‑terrestrial network programme.
• Familiarity with CI/CD‑driven software delivery and automated test gates.
• Experience with BSS/OSS or back‑end platform integration involving SIM provisioning, billing, or subscriber management.
• Background in a startup or scale‑up environment where delivery structure was built from scratch.
