Descripción del empleo

Overview

You will be working integrated in a multidisciplinary team together with System, ground and satellite equipment’s, VHDL, SW and HW engineers.

You will perform the following tasks :

Responsibilities

• Design and develop algorithms for quantum key distribution (QKD) tailored for satellite communication.
• Utilize Model-Based Design principles, specifically leveraging MathWorks tools such as Simulink and MATLAB for system modeling and simulation.
• Implement and test the algorithms in a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environment to validate their performance under realistic conditions.
• Work closely with VHDL & SW engineers to ensure seamless implementation of the algorithms on FPGA / Microprocessor / SoC platforms for satellite hardware.
• Document all development processes, methodologies, and results to ensure compliance with project standards and facilitate knowledge transfer within the team.

Qualifications

• Telecommunication Engineer (MSc), or equivalent, with firm background on Signal processing, digital communications and protocols. Model based design, model based system engineering and cryptography / security protocols are very valued.
• More than 7 years-experience in designing and development of SDR / digital communication architectures and algorithms applied to communication systems : modulation schemes, error correction coding, characterisation of communication links (channel distortion, EVM, BER, FER).
• More than 7 years of Experience in designing of Signal Processing Algorithms (DSP), specification and performances evaluation oriented to FPGAs or Microprocessors. A deep understanding of floating-point to fixed-point algorithm translation is a must.
• More than 7 years of Experience in debugging the FW- FPGA solution or C-Microprocessors solution at laboratory during HW-FW integration.
• Knowledge of FPGA, microprocessors and System on Chip devices (MPSoC, RFSoC)
