AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.Position OverviewWe are seeking a SoC/ASIC Architect.The Silicon Team in Edinburgh is a small, highly focused group responsible for developing high-value silicon that is core to AST’s mission of “Connecting the unconnected” - delivering the world’s first space-based mobile broadband network.The team works collaboratively to define and build next-generation silicon, exploring advanced silicon technologies to continuously improve performance, capability, and efficiency. This is a hands-on environment where silicon decisions directly
