Shape the future of satellite communications by leading system architecture and design for advanced spaceborne and ground-based platforms. This role drives innovation across the full signal chain—from RF and mixed-signal design to digital beamforming and power systems—ensuring robust performance in demanding space environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and implement system architectures for satellite payloads, user terminals, and critical subsystems across multiple orbital regimes.
- Translate high-level constellation and mission requirements into practical, scalable hardware solutions.
- Optimize RF, digital, and mixed-signal signal chains with attention to frequency conversion, beamforming, and power efficiency.
- Guide long-term technology roadmaps for integrated circuits and systems, informed by deep industry knowledge.
- Integrate emerging capabilities such as Direct-to-Cell and next-generation on-board processing.
- Ensure designs meet stringent environmental demands, including radiation tolerance (TID, SEE), thermal stability, and long-term reliability.
Qualifications
Candidates must demonstrate substantial experience in satellite communications system engineering, with a focus on payload or terminal design. Expertise in frequency bands including Ku, Ka, Q, V, W, C, S, and L is essential, along with the ability to navigate trade-offs in circuit and subsystem implementation.
Strong analytical and communication skills are required, with proven success working independently and within cross-functional teams. Familiarity with space environment effects—particularly radiation and thermal constraints—is critical.
Preference will be given to candidates with an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications, Aerospace, or a related discipline. Experience influencing technology roadmaps, designing power or thermal systems, or working with next-generation Satcom innovations is highly valued.
Work Environment
This position supports flexible and remote work arrangements across the United States, Canada, and Europe, enabling collaboration with global engineering teams.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary range: $184,030 – $266,485. Additional discretionary bonus opportunities are available based on individual and company performance. Comprehensive benefits include medical, vision, and dental coverage; 401k; paid time off; and other company-sponsored programs.
Company Values
We champion a culture of collaboration, technical curiosity, and bold experimentation. Engineers are empowered to explore new ideas, challenge assumptions, and deliver solutions that make a measurable impact. Our inclusive environment welcomes diverse perspectives and backgrounds across disciplines and geographies.
Equal Opportunity
We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, religion, age, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, disability, military status, or any other legally protected status.
