Technical Sales Director – 5G / NTN / Wireless Systems

Southampton | Hybrid

There are not many companies in the UK genuinely operating at the sharp end of 5G PHY, satellite communications and next-generation wireless infrastructure.

This is one of them.

The business develops advanced 5G NR physical layer IP deployed within FPGA and ASIC platforms for terrestrial 5G, satellite communications, NTN and defence applications. Their technology is already gaining serious traction across the wireless and space sectors, supported by major funding rounds, strategic partnerships and a rapidly growing international customer base.

They are now looking to hire a Technical Sales Director to lead commercial engagement across Europe.

This is not a generic sales role.

You’ll be operating directly with:

  • CTOs
  • chief architects
  • satellite payload teams
  • semiconductor vendors
  • defence primes
  • wireless infrastructure companies

The position sits right at the intersection of:

  • wireless systems engineering
  • commercial strategy
  • FPGA / ASIC implementation
  • 5G PHY architecture
  • satellite & NTN communications

You will be responsible for helping customers translate complex technical requirements into commercially viable solutions, shaping proposals, supporting evaluations and ultimately helping win high-value IP licensing business across Europe.

The ideal background is likely to include:

  • 5G NR PHY expertise
  • semiconductor IP or wireless infrastructure
  • FPGA / ASIC implementation knowledge
  • technical pre-sales or applications engineering
  • customer-facing experience within telecoms, satellite or defence sectors

Exposure to NTN, O-RAN, satellite communications or wireless baseband systems would be highly beneficial.

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected engineering-led business operating in one of the fastest-moving areas of the global communications market.

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise edge computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach embedded, IoT, 5G MEC and edge AI engineering talent. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the IoT, 5G and edge AI hiring trends shaping UK edge computing careers over the next three years. Edge computing is quietly becoming one of the most consequential technology shifts of the decade — and the jobs market is starting to reflect that. As the limitations of centralised cloud infrastructure become apparent across industries that require real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and data sovereignty, the demand for professionals who can design, build, and manage computing at the edge has moved from niche to mainstream. But the edge computing jobs market of 2026 is not yet the mature, well-defined landscape that cloud computing has become. It is still forming. New architectures are emerging, standards are being established, and the range of industries deploying edge infrastructure is expanding rapidly — from manufacturing and telecommunications to healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities. That creates a particular kind of opportunity for job seekers: the chance to build deep expertise in a discipline that is growing faster than the talent pipeline serving it. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where edge computing is heading — which use cases are driving commercial deployment, which technologies are defining the architecture of distributed systems, and how the skills required to work at the edge differ meaningfully from those that served professionals well in centralised cloud environments. This article breaks down what the UK edge computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
