What you'll do

  • As a technical contributor, be at the forefront of bring-up, integration, and debugging of advanced PHY/MAC and beamforming radio systems for state-of-the-art satellite communication system.
  • Architect, document, and execute 3GPP based testing for satellite to ground networks. Work with vendors to define equipment requirements to achieve 3GPP conformance testing. Ability to adapt test plans daily based on capabilities of HW/SW delivered by the dev teams.
  • Collaborate across disciplines—including PHY algorithms, RF design, digital beamforming and antenna, MAC, and firmware teams - to ensure seamless integration and best-in-class wireless performance.
  • Understand Doppler pre and post compensation techniques with CFO/SFO in LEO comms systems and test them in the laboratory environment for 3GPP. Knowing channel emulators is a plus.
  • Ability to trade link budget and verify RF line-up for payloads in RF and IF configurations.
  • Characterize performance, analyze data, root-cause system-level issues, and ensure high product quality.
  • Work with a team and take responsibility for power, clock, RF, air, network debugging in lab.
  • Contribute development-test bring up procedures with Linux, Python, bash scripting etc.
  • Experience with wireless synchronization and signal generators / spectrum analyzers to verify that time/frequency requirements are being met.
  • Experience, knowledge and skills on wireless system design, integration, bring up and debug of wireless PHY and RF systems on SoC platforms.
  • Strong understanding of OFDM and MIMO-based wireless systems across both baseband and RF domains, with a solid foundation in related communication theory and signal processing.
  • Work in lab environment and stay in front of the setups for debugging with ref equipment

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or experience working in electrical engineering field
  • 5+ years professional experience working in L1/L2 or beamforming
  • Experience with RF lab equipment, bring-up, test and integration activities

Nice to have

  • Masters/PhD with emphasis in wireless communication systems
  • Proficiency with modeling in MATLAB and/or C/C++; Experience in test automation setup and scripting languages such as Python/Perl/Matlab
  • Broad spectrum of knowledge to be able to understand end-to-end network system architecture from wireless RF and physical layer all the way up to application end-point
  • Must have 3GPP NTN and ORAN knowledge to address conformance testing
  • Experience with leading technical initiatives and key deliverables.
  • Must have the ability to work in a small team and drive to go beyond expectations to deliver results
