What are the responsibilities and job description for the Satellite Communications Systems Engineer - LEO position at EchoStar?
Job Responsibilities
This highly technical role involves collaborating with engineers and satellite manufacturers to develop and produce next-generation satellite payload technology for Non-Terrestrial Network-Low Earth Orbit (NTN-LEO) applications. Key responsibilities include:
• Working closely with satellite manufacturers and Hughes engineers to ensure all satellite requirements are satisfied for proper operation within LEO systems
• Establishing and monitoring objectives, specifications, and plans to ensure projects are executed effectively
• Participating in design reviews and trade analysis for optimal performance and operation of the satellite and constellation
• Representing Hughes in payload component selection and make/buy decisions to ensure vendor experience, quality, and ability to deliver meet requirements
• Analyzing satellite and constellation reliability by trading cost versus Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) and performance versus user experience
• Overseeing the satellite manufacturing plan and processes for high-volume LEO satellite production including analysis of supply chain, assembly, and test
• Basic Requirements: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, 15 years' experience in engineering development of commercial communication systems, 5 years' experience with LEO constellations including specification, design, manufacturing, launch, and operations, 5 years' experience with reliability, particularly how it relates to component selection, manufacturing process, and test, 5 years' experience with manufacturing and testing of ESAs, 5 years' experience with Ka-band and S-band RF electronics, 5 years' experience with terrestrial cellular including 3G/4G/5G
