Space Communication Systems (from engineering to end-to-end systems)

Overview

Aims of the program

The Space Communication Systems (from engineering to end-to-end systems) program from Toulouse INP, INSA Toulouse and ENSFEA aims to train autonomous graduates in the field of satellite telecommunications. The level of expertise acquired in electronics, digital communications, networks and systems allows them to quickly access positions of responsibility in this field and more generally in the field of telecommunications.

The program is built upon on the following foundations:

• A global approach of system design and analysis by taking into account the environments, the limitations and constraints, the interfaces and the expected performances,
• An expertise in the disciplines contributing to the design of these systems: electronics, digital communications, networking, etc.
• Simulation tools and field techniques,
• Development of applications for the space and embedded-system domains.

Job opportunities

The main sector of activity is satellite telecommunications, but graduates can integrate into the entire field of telecommunications.

Graduates are mainly hired by the major European players in the field of satellite telecommunications (system and service providers): industrials (Thales Alenia Space, Airbus Defense and Space, etc.), agencies (CNES, DLR, ESA, etc.), operators (EUTELSAT, SES, INMARSAT). Large companies in the field of telecommunications in general such as Thales and Orange for example are also employers. Graduates are also recruited by SMEs such as: CLS, Silicom, Sigfox, etc.
