Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the definition and development of the Meridian 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) RAN architecture and ground segment specifications. Oversee the design, simulation, and deployment of RF systems and end-to-end testbeds to validate network performance.
Requires a degree in electrical engineering or a related field with deep expertise in 3GPP/O-RAN specifications and satellite network operations. Candidates must have experience in RF system design, beam modelling, and integrating 5G gNB and core components.
SpinLaunch is building Meridian, a next-generation broadband constellation designed to deliver high-capacity, low-latency connectivity to users around the globe. Backed by leading venture capital and engineering partners, we are rapidly scaling the design, production, and deployment of the satellites and ground systems that will bring Meridian online. Joining the Meridian team means working at the forefront of one of the most ambitious commercial space programs underway today designing, building, and operating spacecraft that will reshape global connectivity. You'll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team that thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment, where your work directly advances a constellation that millions will depend on.
As our Principal 5G NTN RAN Architect, you will own the frontend Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture of the Meridian 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) solution. This role calls for a professional who can understand, define, and innovate macro-level RAN architecture concepts and apply them into highly detailed and practical NTN RAN specifications and architecture. You will be highly hands-on, possessing the ability to define, build, develop, and deploy complex setups that will be used to validate and develop the NTN architecture.
In this multidisciplinary role, you will oversee deploying tasks across three critical engineering domains: Systems Architecture, RF & Propagation Engineering (NTN), and RAN - Core Integration. This includes:

Revolutionizing Access to Space.
SpinLaunch has developed a fundamentally new way to reach space. By leveraging a ground based, kinetic launch system, we deliver constellations of small satellites into Low Earth Orbit at dramatically lower cost and higher cadence than any existing space launch company. SpinLaunch is also the first truly environmentally sustainable launch system – delivering less expensive, more scalable access to space.
