Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • Real impact on one of Europe's most ambitious space projects.

  • Growth: we cover 50% of courses or master's degrees (up to 5% of your salary), plus Spanish and Catalan classes.

  • Health & balance: 50% on private health insurance and Urban Sports Club, a flexible schedule, and hybrid work, we focus on results, not hours.

  • Flexible Compensation: flexible compensation through Cobee (meal, transport, kindergarten).

  • A truly global team: 20+ nationalities building something genuinely new - and genuinely nice to work with. Great vibes, real teamwork.

  • A real welcome: a dedicated buddy from day one.

  • Life outside work: we organize leisure and sports activities both during and outside working hours - because great teams connect beyond the screen.

  • Catering: if you don't have time to cook, we partner with a catering company so a freshmeal is sorted, no need to think about it.

  • Parking: on-site parking at the office, with Sateliot covering 50% of the cost - plus free bike parking if you prefer to pedal in.

Requirements

What we're looking for

  • Several years of real 3GPP work: contributions you have written and defended, and a working understanding of how a topic travels from study item to specification.

  • The analytical half of the job: you can read a batch of contributions and come out with a position, not a summary.

  • System knowledge of mobile networks: enough to know what a change in the specification does to a live network, across radio, core and device.

  • Programming ability and hands-on simulation practice, including AI-assisted development tools.

  • The coordination habit: pulling a single position out of several teams, and keeping it consistent across groups and releases.

Nice to have

  • Non-terrestrial networks and IoT NTN from Release 17 onwards, and Store and Forward operation.

  • GSMA work: roaming guidelines, network selection or operator-facing studies.

  • 6G service requirements or architecture work in SA1 and SA2.

  • Conformance testing (RAN5) or device certification.

The role

Sateliot is a Barcelona-based satellite company with one goal: connect everything, everywhere. Founded in 2018, we've built the first satellite constellation that lets standard commercial devices communicate directly from space. Our technology bridges the gaps that terrestrial networks will never reach, bringing affordable and secure connectivity to industries, governments, and communities across the planet.

What you'll do

  • Own the standardisation back-office: meeting preparation, documentation, action tracking and reporting.

  • Own the non-terrestrial simulations that support our 3GPP work and our internal R&D. This calls for solid programming and hands-on practice with AI-assisted development tools.

  • Lead the preparation, coordination and follow-up of 3GPP meetings: agendas, TDocs, change requests and liaison statements.

  • Own document control, version management and traceability, and support the TS, TR and change-request processes.

  • Coordinate with chairs, rapporteurs, delegates and technical experts, and with R&D, Product and the rest of the internal stakeholders.

  • Analyse the 3GPP specifications and contributions that matter to us, and turn their potential impact into clear technical input and recommendations.

  • Support our standardisation tools and workflows: requirements gathering, roadmaps, repositories, and user-acceptance testing where it applies.

How you'll work

  • Occasional travel to 3GPP meetings. The role is weighted towards analysis and coordination rather than travel.

  • Hybrid work with regular on-site presence at our Barcelona HQ.

  • Working proficiency in English, the language of the standardisation arena.

In their own words

About the company & team

What 3GPP decides shapes what a satellite network can offer: the features that make IoT and 5G work over non-terrestrial links, and the 6G requirements being written right now. Sateliot takes an active part in that work, and this role owns the machinery behind it - the preparation and follow-up of the meetings, the documents and their traceability, the analysis of the contributions that matter, and the non-terrestrial simulations that give our positions their evidence. It is a back-office role with a foot in the specifications, not a travel job.
