Your day-to-day responsibilities include collaborating with software, mechanical, modem, and compliance teams to validate system-level operations, defining comprehensive test plans for lab and on-orbit testing, and integrating end-to-end RF communications systems. You will work closely with suppliers to select enabling technologies and ensure the successful execution of test campaigns from concept through integration. The role requires expertise in RF design, satellite communication, and aerospace engineering, along with proficiency in Linux/Unix environments. This position involves deep technical dives into component designs, troubleshooting complex issues, and documenting detailed test results for high-bandwidth, low Earth orbit communications satellites.

What you'll do

  • Define and execute test plans for lab and RF chamber testing of satellite subsystems.
  • Analyze and optimize end-to-end RF communications systems, including antenna and measurement equipment configurations.
  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to validate system-level operations from concept through execution.
  • Interpret test results, perform root cause analysis, and document findings for payload subsystems.
  • Mitigate self-interference issues in RF systems to ensure optimal performance of satellite payloads.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in RF design and verification with launched products.
  • Deep expertise in testing and validating complex wireless systems from baseband to antennas.
  • Proven ability to collaborate across diverse technical teams for system-level validation.
  • Strong background in defining and executing comprehensive test plans for lab and on-orbit scenarios.
  • Experience in mitigating self-interference issues and optimizing RF link budgets.
  • Extensive knowledge of configuring automated test equipment for satellite communications.
