Senior Ground Systems Solution Architect This is a senior technical leadership role with the potential to develop into a CTO position as an expanding satellite communications business continues to grow.
All potential candidates should read through the following details of this job with care before making an application.
An established organisation is increasing its involvement in long-term government and critical infrastructure programmes.
As its satellite ground systems capability scales, there is a need for a Senior Ground Systems Solution Architect to play a central role in shaping how solutions are designed, delivered, and evolved.
This position combines hands-on technical responsibility with a high level of customer interaction and sits at the intersection of RF engineering, software systems integration, antenna design, and project leadership.
It offers real influence and visibility across complex, business-critical programmes.
You will sit at the centre of how satellite ground systems are conceived and delivered, from early customer engagement through to deployment and early operations.
A significant part of the role involves working directly with customers, understanding requirements, shaping solutions, and acting as the trusted technical authority, while remaining closely involved in the technical detail across multiple disciplines.
There will be occasional travel, primarily to meet customers and support acceptance testing during delivery and handover phases.
As programme activity increases, so does the scope of the role.
Over time, this position naturally extends into broader architectural ownership, technical strategy, and leadership across multiple programmes.
It is well suited to someone looking to step into senior technology leadership within a growing organisation.
You will be trusted to own end-to-end technical solutions, balancing RF and antenna considerations with software integration and delivery planning.
The role combines hands-on engineering with customer-facing leadership and includes shaping system architectures using a mix of in-house capability and partners.
You will also influence how engineering standards, delivery approaches, and technical teams develop over time. xxuwjjq
