The Role
Please make an application promptly if you are a good match for this role due to high levels of interest.
You will be responsible for leading the design, development, and integration of digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for communication systems and beyond to be hosted on some of the biggest, most powerful, rapidly designed and rapidly manufactured satellites ever deployed in space. In your first 6 months you will architect, develop, own, test, and integrate new DSP algorithms and software defined radio (SDR) systems for satellite communications and beyond. You will work with a team of fellow RF, FPGA, software, mechanical, and electrical engineers in order to prototype your systems and refine your designs. In your first two years you will have flown your system in space.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design, development, and implementation of DSP algorithms for embedded devices and SDRs
- Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of software and hardware engineers to develop software defined radio systems
- Act as technical leader and subject-matter expert helping to teach, grow, and mentor others in the team
