Education & Experience - Assets:
Main Responsibilities:
- Provide expert-level leadership in RF system development, including trade-offs involving ACP, PAR, out-of-band emissions, pass-band ripple, group delay, and more.
- Support the finalization of radio system implementation involving agile multi-beam phased array antennas and beam hopping technology.
- Define operational concepts for all phases of the system lifecycle such as user terminal commissioning, network entry, satellite handovers, time synchronization, and adaptive coding and modulation (ACM).
- Act as the principal architect for defining air interfaces between user terminals, ground infrastructure, and satellite payloads.
- Collaborate with RF, antenna, system, and terminal engineers to partition functionality between hardware and software components.
- Provide input to the system modeling team on design assumptions and strategies for modeling link performance, accounting for impairments across system components.
- Work closely with the Verification and Test team to ensure thorough validation of requirements and system performance.
- Participate in relevant industry standards forums (e.g., DVB) and provide strategic recommendations to align internal systems with evolving standards.
Education & Experience - Required:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering.
- 15+ years of experience in RF communications systems and/or RF equipment development.
- Demonstrated experience taking RF systems from concept through iterative design, specification development, and low-rate production.
- Strong background in system architecture, requirements management, and performance assessment for communication systems.
Education & Experience - Assets:
- Familiarity with DVB standards such as DVB-S2X and DVB-RCS2.
- Solid understanding of digital communications, spread spectrum techniques, single and multi-carrier modulation (e.g., PSK, APSK, QAM).
- Proficiency in MATLAB or equivalent tools for modeling and analyzing RF communication systems.
- Deep knowledge of RF passive and active components and microwave frequency performance, including the effects of environmental factors such as rain fade.
- Strong foundation in RF transceiver architecture and digital communication theory.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage stakeholders across engineering, management, and external partners.
- Collaborative, adaptable, and capable of leading multidisciplinary teams in high-performance environments.
