## About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Staff SATCOM Algorithm Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and integration of next-generation satellite communication modem systems and signal processing solutions. This role focuses on defining system-level requirements, developing advanced SATCOM algorithms and waveforms, and guiding FPGA-based modem implementations from concept through integration and testing. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in satellite communications systems engineering, including signal processing, DVB?S2X and related waveforms, and hands-on experience with VHDL design and FPGA-based architectures. This individual will collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure seamless subsystem integration, leverage simulation tools such as MATLAB, and support high-performance communications solutions across ground-based SATCOM platforms. Strong leadership, technical communication, and the ability to drive complex system development in a
lab-based environment are essential for success in this role., This is a permanent Monday-Friday onsite position, pay starting at $200K+. The ideal candidate is highly experienced SATCOM systems engineer with deep expertise in satellite communications algorithms, signal processing, and FPGA-based modem development. They bring a proven track record of architecting and integrating next-generation satellite communication systems, strong proficiency in VHDL and MATLAB, and the ability to lead complex technical initiatives while collaborating effectively across engineering teams., * Master's degree in electrical engineering, Wireless Communications, or related degree.

 * 10+ years of Satellite Communications Systems Engineering or related experience.
 * High level architecture of Communications systems
 * Algorithm development and digital signal processing - satcom preferred for link budgeting
 * Knowledge of FPGA based implementation (modems)
 * Simulation tools like MATLAB
 * Experience with lab measurement tools - need to follow design all the way through to testing hands on with hardware in the lab
 * Development of FPGA code with VHDL
 * Satcom or wireless waveform knowledge preferred (DVB-S2, DVB-S2X, or other 5G non terrestrial waveforms.)

## Description

* Architect, design, develop and integrate ground-based satellite modem systems, including:
 * High level architecture and requirements definition
 * Support FPGA-based modem implementation
 * Includes VHDL design and implementation of satellite communications waveforms and related signal processing algorithms
 * Support/lead integration of communications subsystems.
