Job Description
Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide lowlatency highspeed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. As a Systems Engineer for Modeling and Simulation this role is primarily responsible for the developing and analyzing high level system resource allocation techniques for links to ensure optimal system performance from the capacity coverage power consumption and availability point of view.
Be part of the team defining the overall communication system and architecture of Project Kuipers broadband wireless network. This is a unique opportunity to innovate and define novel wireless technology with few legacy constraints. The team develops and designs the communication system of Kuiper and analyzes its overall system level performance such as overall throughput latency system availability packet loss etc. as well as compatibility for both connectivity and interference mitigation with other space and terrestrial systems.
This role in particular will be responsible for 1 evaluating complex multidisciplinary trades involving RF bandwidth and network resource allocation to customers within HW/SW capabilities and constraints made timedynamic by orbital motion 2 developing both heuristic or solverbased algorithms 3 demonstrating their viability through detailed modeling and simulation 4 working with operational teams to ensure they are implemented. This role will be part of a team developing the necessary simulation tools with particular emphasis on coverage and capacity taking into account the yearly growth of the satellite constellation and terrestrial network.
Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder) or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Key job responsibilities
Work within a project team and take responsibility for high bandwidth wireless system architecture validation
Extend existing code/tools creating simulation models representative of the target system primarily in Matlab.
Design interconnection strategies between nodes. Analyze link availability and investigate link outages
Use RF and optical link budgets with constellation dynamics to model timevarying system capacity.
Conduct tradeoff analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of resources (costs power spectrum) including optimization of constellation design and link selection.
Work closely with implementation teams to simulate expected system level performance and provide quick feedback on potential improvements
Analyze and minimize potential selfinterference or interference with other communication systems
Provide visualizations document results and communicate them across multidisciplinary project teams
Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Science a related discipline or equivalent experience
2 years of work in satellite system design modeling and analysis or equivalently complex timedynamic systems.
3 years of work developing code in Matlab and experience with industry standard coding and regression practices
Experience conducting and documenting trade studies and design trades.
Good analytical problem solving and communication skills
Must have the ability to work in a small team and drive to go beyond expectations to deliver results.
PhD in Aerospace Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Science related discipline or equivalent experience
Familiarity with satellite systems and operations
Familiarity with satellite constellation management trades
Experience modeling orbits reference frames and efficiently using vector geometry to simulate timevarying relative geometry of satellites and ground nodes.
RF or Communications System design background or solid understanding
Experience in wireless system design and architecture system integration RF system analysis including use of link budgets for modeling
Experience with graph theory binpacking network topology analysis or other applied techniques relevant to NPhard resource allocation problems.
Some experience with C or Python.
