(Senior) Engineer, System Integration & Test, meo Sphere

meo Sphere is SES’s next-generation Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite constellation, designed to deliver secure connectivity services to government agencies, enterprises, and commercial customers. It will also provide high-speed broadband internet to eliminate global connectivity dead zones.

To accelerate development timelines, reduce costs, and ensure quality, SES is internalizing a critical segment of the satellite supply chain: the final integration of partner satellite platforms with SES’s software-defined payloads, all within a cutting-edge manufacturing and test facility.

The System Integration & Test (SI&T) team is responsible for the integration, verification, validation, and end-to-end testing of the meo Sphere System of Systems, encompassing spacecraft, ground systems, terminals, networks, software, and operational processes. The team ensures that system elements interoperate as intended and that end-to-end capabilities meet program and operational requirements.

As a Senior Engineer, you will lead and deliver system integration, verification, validation, and test activities across one or more of the following areas:
Mission Test & Pathfinder Integration, Systems Verification & Validation, or Test Infrastructure & Automation. Working across multiple engineering domains, you will develop test solutions, define and execute test activities, investigate technical issues, verify system requirements, and support major program milestones from system integration through operational readiness.

The role requires strong technical judgment, hands‑on problem solving, and the ability to independently deliver complex technical work in a fast‑paced engineering environment.

• Plan, coordinate, and execute system integration, verification, validation, and test activities across complex hardware, software, network, and operational environments.
• Own assigned SI&T work packages, delivering technical outputs aligned with program milestones, test campaigns, and readiness gates.
• Develop, review, and maintain test procedures, verification methods, configurations, success criteria, and evidence required to demonstrate requirement compliance.
• Define and execute interface, system, mission, and end‑to‑end test activities supporting verification and validation of mission and service outcomes.
• Collaborate with spacecraft, ground systems, software, mission operations, networking, laboratory, supplier, and partner teams to coordinate integration and test activities.
• Investigate anomalies identified during integration and testing, perform technical troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis, and drive effective resolution and corrective actions.
• Ensure complete traceability between requirements, verification methods, test procedures, execution records, anomalies, and verification evidence.
• Contribute to system readiness reviews, verification reviews, test readiness reviews, operational readiness reviews, and related technical assessments.
• Support the development, maintenance, and configuration control of test environments, test infrastructure, and automation capabilities, as applicable to the assigned area.
• Produce high‑quality technical documentation, test reports, verification records, anomaly reports, and engineering recommendations to support technical decision‑making.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of SI&T processes, methodologies, tools, and engineering best practices.
• Provide technical…
