AtCesiumAstro we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites UAVs launch vehicles and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment which allows us to learn develop and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on interactive and autonomous work CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate collaborative energetic and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.
We are building iterating and getting to spacefast. Our team thrives on action. We leverage deep experience in the space industry with engineering reimagined for speed and agility. We design test and deploy real systems that fly. If you want to own critical communications for a satellite mission keep reading.
Were looking for builders problem-solvers and system thinkers. We are seeking a Senior Communication Engineer II to lead the end-to-end integration and verification of communication functions for our communication payload products. This highly technical role combines deep domain expertise in communication systems with hands-on integration and test execution and technical leadership responsibilities.
You will play a critical role in the architecture definition execution and delivery of our communication payload products leading requirement definitions contributing to algorithm development driving Special Test Equipment (STE) design and owning verification and final sell-off. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy and provide technical leadership across integration and verification activities.
