TL;DR · Senior Software MAC Development Engineer

As a Sr Software MAC development Engineer within the LEO-MAC-SW team, you will design, develop, and test complete LEO-MAC firmware for ground networks on customer terminals and satellites. You will be responsible for bringing up firmware components and drivers in real-time embedded environments while making performance and optimization trade-offs to meet end-to-end requirements. Your daily work involves profiling and executing code on RTOS or bare-metal systems, defining hardware interfaces, and debugging complex software within a cross-functional team. The role requires expertise in programming languages, system architecture, and firmware best practices like clean architecture and refactoring. You will apply knowledge of RF standards such as 4G/5G NR, WiMAX, 802.11ad, or microwave backhaul to solve technical challenges related to MAC or L1 protocol feature development and throughput performance issues in the wireless domain.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and integrate Kuiper-MAC firmware components and drivers in real-time embedded environments.
  • Define multi-dimensional performance requirements such as MIPs and memory bandwidth for system architecture.
  • Make technical trade-offs to optimize performance and meet end-to-end use case requirements.
  • Build component test cases and debug code within the LEO embedded environment.
  • Profile and execute firmware code on both RTOS and bare-metal systems.
  • Define, document, and test firmware-hardware interfaces for satellite and ground network components.
  • Contribute to the definition of services and functionalities delivered by firmware subsystems.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
  • 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language.
  • 5+ years of leading design or architecture of new and existing systems.
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead, or leading an engineering team.
  • Experience debugging, profiling, and implementing best software engineering practices in large-scale systems.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent (preferred); experience with MAC or L1 protocol feature development (preferred).
  • Export control laws and regulations, candidates.
