As a Wireless Systems Engineer (Starlink Mobile), you will join the team responsible for designing and developing wireless communications algorithms to maximize performance for the Starlink Mobile satellite constellation and future networks. You will design and optimize MAC and PHY layer algorithms for link adaptation, power control, timing advance, and doppler tracking. Your daily work involves simulating complex MAC layer scheduling, analyzing inter-cell and inter-beam interference, and developing high-fidelity models for non-terrestrial applications. You will collaborate with software engineers to implement and deploy production algorithms to orbit while qualifying performance through KPI analysis and telemetry. The role requires expertise in 3GPP RAN protocols (4G/5G/6G), MATLAB, Python, and C/C++. You will solve technical problems regarding signal processing and beam planning within a satellite communication framework.
