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

Sr. System Dev Engineer, Antenna System Validation joins the team to design, develop, and validate embedded software for satellite and ground test hardware. Working at the hardware and software boundary, the engineer owns firmware for RF and digital subsystems from board bring-up through production test. Daily responsibilities include developing device drivers, board support packages, and hardware abstraction layers for peripherals like SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, and Ethernet. The role requires programming in C/C++ and Rust for ARM-based SoCs and FPGA platforms while utilizing oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers to resolve issues. Candidates must navigate embedded Linux or RTOS environments and potentially work with Yocto, BitBake, and phased array systems. This position focuses on the technical challenges of satellite communications, specifically addressing RF systems and radio modem firmware within a manufacturing and hardware validation context.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++ and Rust for ARM-based SoCs and FPGA platforms.
  • Create 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 features for telemetry, diagnostics, and over-the-air updates.
  • Develop unit tests and hardware-in-the-loop tests integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Root-cause cross-domain issues involving RF, hardware, and manufacturing test systems.

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 like JTAG, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
  • Experience with Yocto/BitBake or other embedded Linux build systems (preferred).
  • Experience with FPGA/SoC platforms and FPGA-processor integration (preferred).
  • Experience with RF systems, phased arrays, or radio/modem firmware (preferred).
