5G EMERGE Implementation Manager

The 5G EMERGE Implementation Manager will be part of the 5G/6G Strategic Programme Line within the Systems, Strategic Programme Lines and Technology Department (CSC-S) and will report to the Head of the 5G/6G NTN Programme Office. In this role, you will focus on the implementation, coordination and evolution of the 5G EMERGE partnership project, a strategic ESA initiative enabling the integration of non terrestrial networks (NTN) with terrestrial 5G/6G systems in collaboration with satellite operators, network vendors and service providers. 5G EMERGE aims to demonstrate how satellite networks and terrestrial 5G infrastructures can work together to deliver advanced digital services — especially media and content distribution — at scale. The role includes responsibility for coordinating industrial and institutional partners, overseeing the technical and programmatic execution of the 5G EMERGE project, and ensuring alignment with the strategic objectives of the 5G/6G Programme Line and ESA’s broader connectivity roadmap. In addition, you will contribute to selected NTN related activities where synergies are relevant, including monitoring ecosystem developments and supporting the interface with key stakeholders and partner initiatives.
