TL;DR · Senior RF Ground Systems Engineer

As a Sr. RF Ground Systems Engineer on the Ground Systems team, you will provide technical oversight for integrated ground station products, including gateways and tracking, telemetry, and control systems. You will manage the full lifecycle of aerospace-grade hardware, from architecture and requirement definition to integration, testing, and global deployment. Your daily work involves developing solutions for high-reliability remote antennas and modems while performing root cause analysis on complex system issues. The role requires expertise in RF hardware, satellite communication link budgets, and antenna systems. You will utilize tools such as MATLAB, Python, STK, or Visualyse to support the development of LEO tracking TT&C and Gateway Terminal systems. This position addresses the technical challenge of establishing high-throughput, low-latency space-ground communications for a Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation.

What you'll do

  • Provide RF technical oversight for integrated ground station products and tracking, telemetry, and control systems.
  • Develop RF architecture, specifications, requirements, and designs for parabolic LEO tracking and Gateway Terminal systems.
  • Solve complex design problems to ensure high-reliability aerospace grade connectivity products.
  • Create qualification, verification, and validation plans to meet technical and performance requirements.
  • Develop gateway monitoring, control systems, and fault management plans for remote site commissioning.
  • Perform root cause analysis and resolve anomalies on complex system issues.
  • Analyze operational faults and monitor performance metrics and trends.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • Minimum of 8 years of system engineering experience in development and delivery of satellite communications systems.
  • Experience in RF product design, integration, and testing for antenna systems and ancillary equipment.
  • In-depth understanding of satellite communications link budgets.
  • Experience supporting Systems Engineering of ground systems development to meet cost, schedule, and performance goals.
  • General computer hardware and software proficiency.
  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
