TL;DR · Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Modeling and Simulation Engineer, Leo Customer Terminal is a role within the LEO Customer Terminal team focused on developing high-fidelity models of satellite constellations and customer terminal algorithms. You will work with multi-disciplinary teams to architect, integrate, and verify core algorithms within a simulation framework, including sensor fusion, motion trajectory modeling, and satellite handover evaluation. The position involves simulating nominal and off-nominal operating scenarios for mobile user terminals across residential, aviation, maritime, and automotive applications to ensure reliable connectivity. Key responsibilities include developing test vectors to stress systems and analyzing hardware and software constraints to optimize run-time algorithms. Required skills include proficiency in Linux/Unix environments, MATLAB or Python programming, and experience with satellite system design, orbit modeling, and vector geometry. The role addresses the technical challenge of maintaining stable satellite links across diverse mobility conditions and complex network boundaries.

What you'll do

  • Develop high-fidelity models of the LEO satellite constellation to validate terminal performance.
  • Integrate customer terminal algorithms into a simulation framework for global use cases.
  • Create motion trajectory and orientation models for aviation, maritime, and automotive platforms.
  • Simulate nominal and off-nominal operating scenarios to stress test mobile user terminals.
  • Validate end-to-end integration of sensor fusion algorithms with satellite constellation software.
  • Develop test vectors to evaluate performance at cell boundaries and during satellite handovers.
  • Analyze hardware and software constraints to optimize run-time algorithms for the terminal.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, or an equivalent field.
  • 5+ years of experience in satellite system design, modeling, and analysis, or equivalently complex time-dynamic systems.
  • 4+ years of experience developing code in MATLAB or Python with familiarity in industry-standard coding and regression practices.
  • Experience with Linux/Unix.
  • Experience conducting and documenting trade studies and design trades.
  • PhD degree in electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, or an equivalent field (preferred).
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
