  • Define and execute radio performance verification for launch readiness using lab and outdoor testing.
  • Lead RF characterization including EIRP, beam patterns, pointing accuracy, and spectral conformance.
  • Verify RAN-level resource management such as scheduling, beam hopping, and link adaptation.
  • Manage the roadmap and delivery of custom-built test systems, hardware, and software portfolios.
  • Oversee the ground-based monitoring network for real-time visibility of phased array health and signal quality.
  • Lead a multi-site organization of engineering managers and specialists across RF, antenna, and protocol engineering.
  • Manage annual and multi-year planning for headcount, operating expenses, and capital investments for test infrastructure.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylumee.
