TL;DR · Senior System Dev Engineer, Antenna System Validation

The Sr. System Dev Engineer, Antenna System Validation joins the Systems, Quality, & Security Engineering team to design, develop, and validate embedded software for satellite and ground test hardware. This role involves owning firmware for RF and digital subsystems from board bring-up through production test. Key responsibilities include writing drivers, board support packages, and hardware abstraction layers for peripherals like SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, and Ethernet. The engineer will use C/C++, Rust, and embedded Linux or RTOS to support ARM-based SoCs and FPGA platforms. Daily tasks involve debugging with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers while building telemetry, diagnostics, and CI/CD integrated tests. The work focuses on solving hardware/software boundary issues within the context of low-latency, high-speed broadband satellite systems and radio/modem firmware.

What you'll do

  • Design, implement, and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++ and Rust for ARM-based SoCs and FPGA platforms.
  • Develop device drivers, board support packages, and hardware abstraction layers for peripherals like SPI, I2C, and PCIe.
  • Perform hardware bring-up by validating schematics and debugging board-level issues using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
  • Build and maintain firmware update, telemetry, and diagnostics capabilities for satellite and ground hardware.
  • Write unit and hardware-in-the-loop tests and integrate firmware into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Root-cause cross-domain issues by collaborating with hardware, RF, systems, and manufacturing test teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience.
  • 3+ years of embedded firmware development experience.
  • Experience with embedded Linux and/or RTOS environments.
  • Experience with common hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) and reading schematics/datasheets.
  • Experience debugging embedded systems using lab equipment (JTAG, logic analyzer, oscilloscope).
  • Experience with Yocto/BitBake or other embedded Linux build systems (preferred).
  • Experience with FPGA/SoC platforms (Xilinx Versal/Zynq or similar) and FPGA-processor integration (preferred).
  • Experience with RF systems, phased arrays, or radio/modem firmware (preferred).
