• Travel to partner or pilot sites when necessary to support field activities and ensure successful integration.

• Guide VAS partners in the use of test environments, network access, and configuration of communication modules.

• Collect, analyze, and report test results to ensure proper system behavior and service performance.

• Collaborate closely with internal technical teams to resolve integration issues and improve partner experience.

• Contribute to the documentation and continuous improvement of technical support processes for VAS integration.

• Ability to interpret and analyze logs, including modem logs, Wireshark traces, and device outputs.

• Basic Linux user skills.

• Clear and concise communication skills, both written and spoken.

• Customer- and partner-oriented mindset, with the ability to guide third parties through technical processes effectively.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a collaborative approach in cross-functional teams.

• Autonomous and proactive, comfortable working in fast-paced and evolving technical environments.

• Willingness to travel occasionally for on-site support and partner engagement.

• Good level of English (spoken and written) is essential; additional languages are a plus.

Preferred experience:

• Basic scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation or data processing.

• Understanding of mobile and satellite communication protocols, including NB-IoT, LTE-M, 3GPP NTN, and LEO technologies.

• Hands-on experience with testing equipment such as spectrum analyzers, network simulators, and protocol analyzers.

Additional requirements

• English proficiency: professional working proficiency in written and spoken English.

• Location: based in Barcelona; hybrid work model.

• Operational availability: occasional travel to partner/pilot sites abroad for on-site support.
