Job description

In this role you will be responsible for developing software tools that measure and optimize the effectiveness and feasibility of advanced satellite communication constellations. This includes:

  • Using and creating software tools to model constellation performance, utilization, and lifecycles
  • Conducting analysis to cater constellation solutions for customers.
  • Working with the engineering team to optimize the constellation design
  • Developing optimization techniques and algorithms to solve complex telecom constellation design problems, such as beam placement and interference mitigation
  • Modelling global market demand for communication services and constellation support infrastructure (ground stations etc.)
  • Optimizing computational efficiency of in-house modelling tools

Requirements

Do you have experience in Software development?, Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, * Bachelor’s degree in computer science, aerospace, or related field

  • Experience developing in Python (especially numpy and pandas)
  • Strong understanding and knowledge of 3D vector geometry and calculus
  • Ability to rapidly expand application specific knowledge sets and skills where necessary
  • Passion for understanding complexity and finding answers to challenging questions
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, * 3+ years of related industry experience
  • Higher degree (Masters or PhD) in related field
  • Experience architecting and managing robust and extensible software codebases
  • Experience in optimizing computationally intensive software
  • Experience in solving complex multi-dimensional optimization problems
  • Experience working on satcom or other telecommunication systems
  • Experience modelling antenna radiation patterns
  • Experience working on LEO satellite constellation(s)
  • Experience in with LEO spacecraft and/or space mission top level design
