CGI Network Solutions Architect – Satellite Operations
The Space, Defence and Intelligence business unit at CGI is a true IT Systems Integrator, building mission‑critical systems with a focus on space, defence, intelligence, aerospace and maritime. The role supports architecture, design and integration of a third‑party NMS for satellite operations within the Satellite Network Operations Centre framework.
Responsibilities
* Define and maintain the end‑to‑end NMS architecture, leveraging COTS concepts such as drivers, alarm correlation, automation scripts and Visio‑based operational views.
* Design robust interfaces (SNMP, REST, Smart‑Serial, APIs) with external systems.
* Ensure alignment with subsystem ICDs and external integration requirements.
* Oversee the design of NM drivers, ensuring distributed monitoring at remote ground stations and centralized performance aggregation.
* Lead the design of Configuration Management (CM) functions including inventory, automated file generation and distribution through orchestration.
* Implement redundancy, fail‑over and backup/restore mechanisms.
* Define strategies for end‑to‑end monitoring, including synthetic flows (global system health) and analytic flows (fault isolation and troubleshooting).
* Specify KPIs and aggregation rules for ground networks, satellites and service providers.
* Collaborate with operations to design dashboards, alarm templates and correlation rules for proactive monitoring.
* Support RBAC, secure file handling and HTTPS‑based communication in the system architecture.
* Ensure compliance with aerospace security frameworks and OneWeb/CGI enterprise security policies.
* Work with mission operations, software engineers and NOC subsystem teams to validate architecture decisions; act as technical authority in design reviews, use‑case validations and operational workshops.
* Present architectural roadmaps and risk assessments to leadership and clients.
Qualifications
* Bachelor’s degree in Network Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
* 5–7 years of experience in network architecture and management systems, ideally within satellite, aerospace or defence communications.
* Strong knowledge of network protocols (SNMP, NETCONF, RESTCONF, HTTP APIs), orchestrations, automation and monitoring platforms.
* Experience with redundant, distributed architectures and high‑availability design.
* Familiarity with satellite ground systems (GN, PoP, SAP, SOC) and core/WAN integration.
* Experience with configuration‑management databases, performance analytics and alarm‑management systems.
* Ability to translate technical requirements into architecture specifications.
* Desirable: Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Telecommunications or a related discipline.
* Hands‑on experience with large‑scale NMS deployments in telecom or space industries.
* Experience with COTS products (e.g., DataMiner), driver development and custom integrations.
* Familiarity with cloud‑native deployment (microservices, containers, Kubernetes).
* Industry certifications such as Cisco CCNP/CCIE, AWS/Azure Solutions Architect or ITIL.
