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 this role is primarily responsible for the design development and integration of Ka band and S/C band communication payload and customer terminal systems.
This role is a 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 validates its overall system level performance within key metrics such as throughput latency system availability packet loss etc.
This role in particular will be responsible for leading the implementation of the physical layer design on reference and test platforms.
This role will also play a critical role in the design development and verification of various L1 concepts for Kuiper commercial as well as test HW.
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
Develop FPGA solution for L1 (PHY) implementation for Kuiper Communication System and Various Testbed Prototypes
Design and develop the embedded software architecture that controls the Physical Layer (L1) Modem across multiple nodes within the Kuiper network
Develop embedded/DSP solutions for PHY FW/SW.
Design solution/implementation and collaborate with ASIC development teams to build ultrareliable and efficient Kuiper modem solutions.
Collaborate with software teams to design and implement interfaces for L1 modem software administration management and telemetry.
Provide specifications and work with implementation teams on the development of embedded L1/L2 SW architectures.
Work with multidisciplinary teams to develop advanced solutions for time frequency and spatial acquisition/tracking in LEO systems particularly under large uncertainties.
Work with development teams on system integration and debugging from PHY to network layer including interfacing with flight computer and SDN control subsystems.
Be a part of the team that incubates new technology from algorithm specification to HW/SW architecture definition to proofofconcept development to testbed bringup to integration into the Kuiper system.
Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering related discipline or equivalent experience
10 years professional experience working in mission critical software embedded systems.
Emphasis or work experience in broadband wireless or wireline communication embedded systems.
Experience in HW/SW codesign to achieve power/area efficient solutions to be integrated into heterogeneous/distributed computing architectures consisting of SoCs FPGAs and generalpurpose processors.
Understating of modem L1/L2 algorithms and architectures.
Broad spectrum of knowledge to be able to understand endtoend network system architecture from wireless physical layer all the way up to application endpoint.
Experience with software defined radios (SDRs) and embedded programming in C/C and VHDL/Verilog is a plus.
FPGA code development for L1 control and data paths for modems
Experience with current software development processes and tools including Agile TDD BDD CI Git.
Must have the ability to work in a small team and drive to go beyond expectations to deliver results.
Ideal candidate has a wireless communication systems or digital signal processing background a passion for building realworld carriergrade communication systems and industry experience developing PHY/MAC layer HW/SW targeting SoCs FPGAs and generalpurpose processors.
Experience with leading technical initiatives and key deliverables.
